Cask @ Cardinal. Cloudy dark orange body with a small off-white head. Moderate fruity aroma with malt. Flavor is sweet and malty with moderate citric fruitiness and some grass. Quite smooth but way to sweet and could have some more bitter edge in the aftertaste. Not bad, just a bit straightforward.

Big lasting beige head. Faintly hazy deep dark red barely translucent body. Earthy dusty ripe fruit and nougat aroma with roasty alcohol notes. Very vivid and harmonic. Sweet-dryish roasty earthy chocolatey taste with yeasty fruity notes, Soft, mild mouthfeel. Fullish body. Dryish earthy ripe fruit aftertaste with dusty toffee and chocolate notes. Excellent! Highly drinkable and lots of character. (0.4l draft at Haandverkerstuene, Oslo.)

Two 750ml bottles, brygg nr. 48, carried home from Fenaknoken in Oslo to be enjoyed with friends at social gathering on a Saturday eve. Creamy,white head blanketing the glass. Hazy, golden body. Herbal hoppy aroma, semi-sweet. Smooth sweet-acid taste of fruits joined by wheat and earthy malts. Soft, bittering endnotes. Very suitable with different kinds of food – we paired the beer with cheese, salad and light meat (Tromsø, 15.01.2011).

Tap @ Naboen, Bergen. Pours a dark brown, almost black body with a big, beige, lasting, creamy nitro-head. Nose is liquorish, chocolate, almost nutty and some mocca. I first get strongly roasted malts and lots of chocolate, then in end it unfortunate falls a bit through and get a almost wattery finish. This is typically a dry stout - only a bit better. Medium to thin bodied, quite low carbonation. Lots of roasted malts and a medium hopy, almost sweet and silky ending. I definitely want more of this!

330ml on tap at Håndverkerstuene. Fawn coloured head atop of a dark-brown body, partly cloudy. Smell of chocolate malts added by fruity hops. More cocoa than chocolate in the taste character that also promotes Christmas spices like cinnamon. Smooth bittering chocolate to the ending. Pleasant and more than satisfying (Oslo, 10.01.2011).

In friendly company together with KnutAlbert and OleR at Tilt in Oslo where we ordered one glass each of Austkyst, poured from tap. Cloudy, off-white head leaving fragile lacing behind. Apricot coloured body. Moderate aroma with floweriness of hops and dried fruits. Citric shells along with herbal hops and sweet malts in flavour. Dry, hop bitter ending that lasted all the way to the next stop at Håndverkerstuene (Oslo, 10.01.2011).

Bottle, kindly shared by gunnar. Brew #48. ABV 4.7%. Cloudy brown colour, moderate beige head. The aroma has notes reminiscent of juniper wood and tobacco. Decent hoppy flavour, resinous notes, hints of wood and tobacco, on a sufficient malty base. A nice steam beer!

750 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a big foamy off-white head. Mild and clean aroma of malt and citric fruit, quite subdue but nice. Flavor has a dry biscuit maltiness with just a hint of fruit and moderate bitterness. A light and easy beer, still in a perfect balance and incredible quaffable. Definitivly british style. Like this a lot even as this is not reflected by the score, but that’s the nature of Ratebeer.
