Bottle. Pitch black, small beige head, not so lasting. Nice and milder chocolate nose, slight roastiness and a bit of alcohol. Medium bitterness, a bit sharp at times, some chocolate sweetness, very nice vanilla finish. Somewhat roasted aftertaste. Medium light body. Some alcohol warmth. Not bad, a bit lighter.

500ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Decent, durable, beige head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Pretty black in the glass with a ruby glint. Inviting chocolate malts on the nose, lightly roasted, and added by a scent of citrus. Taste quite alright with ripe orange flavours mixed with mid-sweet, earthy malts. Malt-fruity bitterness towards the ending. Smooth on the swallow. Medium bodied. Something else and pretty good. (Tromsø 19.03.2021).

Bottle. Aldi. Clear amber with a dense near white head that lasts well. Aroma of toasted spicy bread, orange peel, pine. Moderately sweet; a little chewy with less citrus than suggested by the aroma. And less bitterness too. When did this sort of thing start being called amber ale instead of bitter? It's OK but I wanted it to snap a bit more at the end.
