Cask. Good fruity aroma, fine and peachy. Clear dark golden colour, stable white head. Flavour is like aroma, good and refreshing. Good bitterness in finish. Low carbonation, but enough.

500ml bottle (4.7%) picked up at Centra, Colosseum, Oslo (bb. April 08).Almost clear golden body colour supplied by a thin, but lasting white head. Smell of light grassy hops on a malty backbone. Flavour is a mixed bag of dry hoppy fruits - grapefruits, apricots and oranges - entwined with rather tangy malts. Medium bodied and flat carbonation. I wish they could make lagers like this in Norway (on a Friday eve, 22.02.2008).

Bottle- Black in colour with a vinous, biscuity roasted aroma with chocolate. Roasted, malty, chocolatey taste with a pleasant bitterness with chocolate and coffee being noted. Very nice.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear golden yellow, very slight hazy look, almost fully diminished head. Light fruity hops aroma. Flavour starts fresh hoppy and fruity. Nice bitterness mixing in with fruity hops notes towards the finish. Quite subdued sweetness without getting overly dry. Nice.

Bottle. Pours a dark oil (I wonder where the name came from) color. Aroma is chocolates and malts. The flavor is roasty and full of coffee and chocolates. Very smooth and has a nice creamy body to it.
