Smallish beige head. Opaque black body goes deep dark brown at edges. Roasty chocolatey aroma with licorice and faint smoke notes. Dry-sweetish roasty chocolatey taste with smoky minty notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish roasty salmiak licorice aftertaste with herbal smoky notes. A bit plain and austere when cold, but improves substantially on warming up. (0.5 draft at brewpub.)

250ml, draught at the brewpub. Pours an attractive, almost mahogany coloured body covered with a thin, beige layer and a few bubbles at the edge of the glass. Plain roasted aroma of mid-sweet malts. Dark chocolate flavour plus a note of caramel followed by dark fruits towards the ending. Well made brew, very moreish (Oslo, 30.08.2011).

Small beige head. Hazy opaque deep reddish body. Fruity candy and lacquer aroma with dusty caramel notes. Dry-sweet intense fruity candy taste with wooden dusty notes. Really quite sweet. Fullish body. Mild, hottish, slightly slick mouthfeel. Dry wooden lacquer aftertaste with intense fruity candy dusty notes. Buttery finish. Nice, but weird, and a bit too artificial and dense.

On tap at the brewpub. A hazy, golden beer with a two-finger, white head lightly clinging to the glass as I drink it. It’s malty on the nose, with a fruity touch and a faint dms hint. The flavor has pale malts and a touch of fruits and citrus. Citrus peel with some bitterness towards the end. Medium body, silky, and with a nice carbonation. A refreshing one, but with a touch of dms that even though it’s barely detectable is a bit annoying. 110823

On tap at the brewpub. A finger-thick, off-white head sits on top of a cear, dark ruby colored body. The aroma has a ligth peatyness, a touch of roasted malts, as well as drired fruits and a whiff of dms. It’s lighlty roasted and peaty on the palate, with dried fruits and some bitterness. Silky, thin and a bit flat. Some bitterness in the end. Clearly not in top form this one, yet it’s a quite tasteful and easy drinking beer. 110823
