Can, huge thanks djoeye. Shared with Hrabren and Ogi. Pitch black body, off-white head. Heavy, slightly oxidized aroma, orange liqueur and brown sugar. Lean, dry taste, roasty taste, nutty, vague orange notes, heaps of roastiness really. Huge bitterness as well. It's tasty in a way, but quite heavy-handed and rough, even a bit of alcohol that's kinda borderline for 8.5% but still acceptable. Not bad, but... from HB I expect more.

I bought a 33 cl can at Vinmonopolet Bergen last month and am ready for a sampling. Using a tulip glass this late afternoon I flip the tab and pour. It shows a semi-hazy bright gold body topped by a sparse cover of thoroughly white foam. A pleasant nose, I determine peach, grain, straw, malt and meadow. The drink follows that course. More towards apricot if I am picking a yellow fruit, a firm malt backbone, dough, paper and a spot of spiciness. More sweetness than bitterness but there are both. A moderate density, I like that in a tripel. This is a decent representation of the style which is one of my favorites.

(Draft at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 20 Dec 2025) Brownish black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted, slightly smoky nose with coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice and peat. Malty, roasted, slightly smoky taste with notes of chocolate, liquorice, dark bread, peat and a mild roasty bitterness in a vinous and warming finish. Full body, quite sweet. On the sweet side, but rich and warming. Very nice.
