From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle. Clear, pale straw-colored body. Aroma mild fruity, floral and some alcohol. Flavor is sweet fruity, slightly ripe fruity, rice, yeast and warming alcoholic. Medium to full body. Quite smooth and balanced between sweetness and alcohol, none of them really stands out. This might be a good introduction to sake beginners as myself.

From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle. Clear, pale straw-colored body. Aroma is quite mild, but pleasant. Floral, rice and light fruity. Flavor has a mild fruitiness, slightly spicy and smooth alcoholic with a touch of fruity acidity. The alcohol is surprisingly well hidden. I think I could get used to this type of sake.

16oz bottle. Right on the edge of the best by date by holds up just fine. Brings you back to the days when Imperial Stouts were great. Rich malts, coffee, chocolate, balanced by a big hop bill. Rich and full bodied, but downright refreshing compared to what you get in the US in 2026 when you order an Imperial Stout. Delicious. I might have to buy another bottle or two.

En akkurat passe stor 0,75 butelje fra Statens Postordrekatalog, delvis delt med TSC (The Supreme Commander) hjemme på nyttårsaften: klar rubinrød med kort skum. Herlige inntrykk av kirsebær (sure og søte), bringebær, rips og en mandel eller to. Ikke så mye maltsmak å nevne, men helheten er elegant og uhyre sjarmerende. "Dette var snop" konstaterte TSC tilfreds

Tap at Valhalla Prague, thx Zhenya! Black body, off-white head. Cocoa, raisin and caramel, bourbon barrel notes, dusty. Fruity taste, cocoa, roast, tobacco, complex, well integrated sweet wine notes- but not too sweet - or alcoholic. Lovely in some ways!

Excellent Yuletide enjoyment. (Tromsø, 28.12.2025).
