660 ml bottle sampled@RBNAG 2009, Vatlandsvåg. Clear mahogany body with a nice, but diminishing off-white head. Aroma is mild malty, some caramel and bread with some alcohol. Flavor has a light, but sharp maltiness with some caramel and bitterness. A bit thin body, the finish has hops and some alcohol. Not bad, not great.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Light bitter slightly fruity (plumb and prune notes) flavor, overpowered by alcohol. Oily palate. Boring.

66.3 cL bottle. Pours dark maghoni brown with a fully diminished light tan head. Aroma is sweet breadish and mild cinnamon/cardemomme spiced. Sweet initial flavour, meets the back of the tongue with a more spiced breadish flavour and a light bitterness following. Somewhat dark fruity too.
