Aromas are roast, molasses, dark malt, tobacco, and a hint of anise. Flavors are similar to nose, roast comes out more add in a bit of coffee. Thankfully loses the anise and the molasses. Really good. Full round body with slightly soft carbonation which suits the style. And not overly sweet. I could drink more of these.

Can from Gulating. Slightly unclear yellow golden with a medium sized white head. Aroma has Yuzu fruit, some citric fruit, minerals and spices. Flavor is kinda refreshing fruity like aroma, hint of lemon, minerals, spices and perhaps a touch of sour red berries. Medium body and average aftertaste. Fair enough. I was probably a bit drunk when sampling this, I have no memories from this, just my notes and will probably try it again if possible.

Aroma of roasted malt, lots of chocolate, milky, some smokey notes, hint of coffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light to moderate roasty bitter finish. A bit sweet and cloying, but definitely interesting.

Can at home. Aroma of sweet tropical fruits, biscuit malt, caramel, soft peach, floral notes, some pine resin, hoppy notes. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. A rather mild and fruity sweet APA, but also quite smooth with high drinkability. Pleasant beer!

Can. Pale gold, hazy, with lace. Nose is sansho pepper and yuzu, with wheaty malt. Lots of sansho. Flavor is peppery and citrus, additives lead the way, but a nice sweet wheat malt lies int eh background. Light but not too light, the wheaty character works in the winter. Decent.
