Bottle. I have not changed my scores, as the new sample is of an old bottle, BB-date 990311. My scores for this old bottle would be 6-5-6-4-15-3.6. I found it by accident in my cellar, and this is the "norwegian" version, bottled by Aass in the late 90’s. Clear, black with a small brown head, no carbonation. Rounded aromas of sweet, roasted malts. Sour-sweet, bitter flavors with coffee, chokolate and a hint of cellar. Medium body. This seven year old beer with a quite low ABV stored well, and matured in a mostly pleasant way. (060113)[br][br]On tap at Christian Firtal, Odense, Denmark. A black stout with a small tan head. Mild flavors of roasted malt and coffee. Medium-bodied and drinkable. (051028)

An amber beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is malty with light notes of nuts, while the flavor is sweet fruity, and again with light notes of nuts. A very average beer.

Bottle: Copper coloured, quickly diminishing off-white head; sweet malty and fruity (honey) aroma with faint traces of alcohol; sweetish-malty, a bit alcoholic flavour; shorter, dry bitter-malty finish with a trace of Brandy. Not bad, but pretty boring, because too much on the sweet side; nearly no hoppy counterpart to the malty body. 6/2/5/3/11. Re rate 2010: Not even better, the british equivalent to a polish Strong Lager........

Cask handpull at Society Rooms, JDW, Maidstone. Chestnut colour with very thin bubbly beige head. Slightly yeasty nose. Some caramel, some fragrant hop. slightly sour in mouth with drying hop finish and more yeast. Fine. Good finish. In fact middle and end are better than the start

Cask handpull at Pillars of Hercules. Hazy orange colour. Quite good hops on this, I suppose trying to emulate an IPA. Some nice fresh citrus fruit too. Doesn’t drink its strength and lacks oomph if anything

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is slighlty fruity and sweet. The flavor is sweet and rather hoppy combined with notes of fruits, like a mixed fruit bowl. The end is dry and rather bitter.
