500ml bottle, 7.5 % abv, bought at Vinmonopolet Aker Brygge. A remaining two-finger, creamy, tan-coloured head over a jet black body. Poor lacing. Slightly roasted nose, hints of cocoa. Taste of cocoa, liquorice and berries before the spiced, chili, part takes over. Pleasing, without being great in any way (hotel room, Oslo 14.03.2016).

Not the highest complexity, but what a lovely mellow and smooth tasty. Classy!
Complete black color with a fine beige top. Ok lacing. Good intensity in the aroma. Full body and a smooth carbonation. Good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Nice mellow and yet powerful flavor with coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Solid stuff.
[On tap at Café Sara in Oslo, Norway]

Golden with a white head - Hop aroma that has some tropical fruity tones - Malt to support a nice hop profile that is fruity - The hops goes into the finish and there is some bitterness that ends dry - This was nice
