(500 ml bottle, now available in Norway). Colour is yellowish brown, good head. Aroma has first some fruity hops, then dusty malts. Flavour is malty with hints of caramel and dust. Too much carbonation for my taste. OKish, but not remarkable.

2004 bottle. Pours a dark mahogany brown, somewhat clear, with plenty of tan head. Smells of sharp nuttiness, hints of treacle and dark maple syrup. Hints of alcohol laced caramel malt with a touch of scotch. Though for all of that, it’s quite tame. Flavor is very sweet, lots of brown sugar, caramel and honey. With the creamy consistency, it gets pretty heavy and sweet. Hints of smoke adding a bacon like sort of flavor, very subtle. No bitterness, no hops apparency. Finishes creamy, sweet and with a touch of scotch-like bitterness. Quite good, but gets too sweet and could definitely add more peat smoked malt without going overboard.

This fruit beer pours a deep orange colour with a short lived head. The aroma is very good. It includes ripe berry juice with a little alcohol scent and some malt. The initial sip is a little watery but nice with its fruit flavours. Raspberry and strawberry are the most dominent. Light on the carbonation side. The finish is thin with a small bitterness to it. The palate is of underripe berry juice and malt. Not Bad.

I thought this was pretty weak- the caramel, rotten fruit and detergent aroma precedes so many a mediocre beer. The body was quite sweet but was overwhelmed by apple peel which I don’t think works well with this kind of beer. There did appear to be some peat or tannins, a touch of wood, and caramel, but these notes were drowned out by the apple peel. Call me Maluscontent.
