Bottle shared at my 30:th birthday tasting on May 5 (30 år av Surt). Bottle bought @ Ølbutikken (many thanks to the staff who saved a bottle for me for more than a month). Pours hazy deep reddish golden with a huge frothy and fluffy white head that leaves some thick lacing and trace while dissipating. Smell is sweet, fruity, tiny floral and intense with grapes, cloves, lemon zest, wood, brett, barnyard, plums, ginger and hints of red wine. Taste is slightly sweet, tiny sour and fruity with ripe grapes, ripe plums, ripe citrus fruits, wood, hay, brett, ginger, white pepper and hints of mango and alcohol. Mouthfeel is dry, tiny tart, round and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter and tiny sour with citrus fruits, hay, grapes, wood and hints of pine.
