On tap at Bierlokaal Uiver. Guess it's this entry, although ABV was stated at 11.8%. Dark ruby brown colour, no head. Aroma of Port wine, raisins, figs, dried fruits, some caramel, hint of roast, very vinous and syrupy. Flavour is thick, sweet, malty, raisins, oxidised wine, Port, Madeira, syrup, dried fruits, bitter finish. Full bodied, thick, flat. Good dessert beer.

Tap at Beer Geek. Alcohol lightly coming across. Full body and low carbonation. Light feel of fresh cut grass. Otherwise mostly malty, deep nutty toffee character. Rather sweet. Good, but not great.

Bottle @ home. Slightly hazy light amber colour with a medium sized white head. Smells and tastes bitter, hops, slightly vegetable. More fruitiness would've been nice. Medium body, nice carbo.

Shared 500 ml bottle at local tasting. Dark brown colour, nearly black. Pleasant aroma of roast malts and cherries. The flavour is moderately sweet, again with roast malts and cherries. Very good beer.

Flaske, delt på RBHD-samling hos Odd Gunnar, okt-17: lett uklar rødbrun med ok skum. Deilig aroma og smak preget av kirsebærsjokolade, mørk karamell og appelsinskall. Fint balansert, og med en fruktig, delikat bitterhet med mørke karameller og moreller i avslutningen.
