Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled 2023). Very dark brown with small light beige head. Dark fruits, feint chocolate, just a hint of coffee. Okay.

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has toasted malt, earthy hops, and bready notes. Flavour has toasted malt, bready notes, caramel, and earthy hops. The body is pretty light, and there's a not much complexity. It almost comes across more like a hoppy, sweet dunkel/schwarzbier than an imperial stout. Good, but far from a complex or refined imperial stout.

Bottle. A lightly hazy deep golden colored beer with a rather minimalistic white head. Sourish aroma with lemon and some bread dough. Lightly caramel-ish and bready, with some sweetish fruity scents. It's dry, lighlty tart and with a soft carbonation. Medium to thin on the palate. I see Holmen1 mentions blood orange as a flavor, to which I say I definitely agree. Probably woudn't have thought of that myself. He mentions rhubarb as well, which was my first thought along with generic citrus zest and juice. There's also a light doughy touch and some sweetness. Wonder if the sweetness is from the sugar kelp used in this beer. Medium length mostly sour, citrusy finish. Not really sure about this one. It's not my kind of beer, but at least it has an interesting aroma and flavor profile. 241029

Bottle. A clear deep reddish golden colored beer with a dense, two-finger light beige head leaving some curtains. The aroma is quite gentle, lightly roasted and nutty, with some fruityness. Lightly bready and with a faint spiced touch. It's medium bodied and softly carbonated, some bitterness chiming in, with a suitable sweetness. Roasted malts, bread, nuts and some caramel in the flavor, with a metallic hint in the very end. A pretty straight forward beer that won't impress or scare anyone. 241027

On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. It's almost clear in the glass, golden in color and with an off-white, finger-thick head on top. Some curtains. Mostly fruity flavor with pine cones and a light maltyness. Some spiced, yeasty hints too. It's medium bodied and decently carbonated, with a fruity flavor. Gentle bitterness, pine cones and some pale malts. Medium length finish. A sort of dull one, but refreshing and easy drinkable. Not much of the Witbier influence noticed in this White IPA. 240802

Bottle, at Bryggerifestivalen. A still one, clear and golden colored. Honey, fruityness, lemon and flower in the aroma. Some alcohol hints. It's full-bodied and smooth on the palate, lightly warming, with a good honey flavor. Some generic fruityness and hints of lemon and flowers. Lasting finish. Not a bad first attempt. A bit too one dimensional though, but at least much better than the Danish alcohol bombs that were the first on the Norwegian mead market. 240801

Bottle, #100, at Bryggerifestivalen. Shared by Rune. It's a headless copper colored beer of the hazy kind. The aroma has caramel and brown sugar, alchol and some berries. Hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit. It's full-bodied and lightly warming, with a very soft carbonation. Sweet, with just a hint of bitterness. Toffee, caramel, brown sugar and some dried fruit and dark bread. Lasting finish. A decent Barley Wine, but a bit too gentle all the way, and I wouldn't mind a tad more carbonation. Rating: 6-3-6-4-14-3.3. 240801
Bottle, at E.C. Dahls. #300. A bit rough, but nice. Alcohol, dark dried fruit, booze, raisin. Sweet and full-bodied. 747415 250730

On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. A very dark brown beer with a minimalistic off-white to beige head. Gentle aroma, even the alcohol, with roasted malts, caramel and some brown sugar. It's full-bodied and lightly warming, with a light carbonation. Some bitterness. Not too sweet flavor with roasted malts, caramel and some brown sugar. Alcohol notes and a vague spiced touch. Medium length finish. A bit gentle all the way, but quite nice anyway. 240801
