Aus der Flasche am 2016-05 im Seasalt Bistro (Port Ellen/Islay) warm serviert! Na super ein warmes Ale. Doch es hat immer noch ganz gut geschmeckt. 7-5-4-4-8 Aus Erfahrung noch aus 2010 ist diese Ale leicht getreidig und süßlich. Ein echt süffiges Ale wenn die Trinktemperatur stimmt.

500ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Remaining pearl white head leaving spotty lacing behind. Bright amber coloured body. Earthy malts on the nose. Slightly perfumed malty flavours, hints of smoke and leather. Dry, very dry, ending. Drinkable, not too excited about this one. (Tromsø 24.05.2017).

Flaske 500ml fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Langnes. Delt med EgilB på Nerstranda 19 Mai 17. Gylden. Uklar. Middels høyt kremaktig skum. Spotlacing. Lett torvaroma. Smaken tørr & vassen. Spor av whisky - men en skuffelse.

Pours pale amber, rather hazy with some yeast sediment. Some lasting white frothy head. Aroma is sadly almost nonexistent. Tiny bit of malt, tiny bit of hops. Flavours is rather nice, malty, caramelly sweet, with a nice hoppy bitterness. Lingering bittersweet finish. Quite nice, IPA-like (English IPA).

Bottled (from AbM, old backlog). Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is fruity, wooden, some herbal and mild melted rubbery notes as well. Flavour is wooden, floral, fruity, resiny and some quite dry earthiness.

50cl bottle from the Scottish Real Ale shop. Appearance - golden orange with a soft fluffy head. Nose - burnt orange and orange pith. Taste - more sharp orange flavours against a crunchy malt background. Palate - close to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a bit too challenging to be easy to drink but it does have an enjoyable aspect.
