Can: Poured a slightly hazy golden color ale with a white medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some lemony notes and light funky ester. Taste is also a mix of funky ester with some dominant lemony notes and a tart finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Refreshing sour with nice lemon notes.

En 0,5 flaske fra stalinorgelet på Våland Bryghus, delt med Johan og Bernt: viskøs utskjenking, nesten helt svart og uten skum. Lukter og smaker krydderkake og indisk chai. Smaker for så vidt bedre enn den lukter, uten at det sier for mye. For søtt og for sært og slett ikke verdt den ublu prisen. Heldigvis belastet den ikke min pensjon.

Can, smallish head, opaque pitch brown colour, lots of wood in aroma with some bourbon, cake, chocolate and coffee, flavor of chocolate, wood and a bit of cinnamon and vanilla, lots of alcohol but blending nicely, quite sweet. Really nice and enjoyable.

Old 355mL can, undated, circa 2021 most likely. Drunk 2/2/24. Clear, dark. Small tan ring of persistent bubbles. Alcohol and oxidation with syrupy caramel and dark roasted coffee. Hint of vanilla. Flaked oat seems to maybe soften things a bit. Wow sugar. Just a mouthful of brown sugar, vanilla, honey, caramel and dark roast coffee. Some bitterness from alcohol on the finish (and coffee of course). Even at 11% and the coffee being in relatively good shape, this one still seems old and tired. That said, this must have been an onslaught of sugar, booze and coffee when young.

Dark brown, no head. The aroma is fantastic, rich dark malts, molasses, chocolate, just massive hazelnuts. On the palate, big and balanced. Rich, leaning towards sweet but with underlying bitterness. Again, vanilla and intense hazelnuts. Lots of chocolate, light coffee roastiness.
