500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.1%. Copper coloured beer, moderate off-white head. Moderate aroma, some malts and toffee, hints of stale berries and "dusty" hops. The flavour has again some malts and toffee, but is quite dry. Just a hint of fruit. Moderately bitter hops in the finish, some nutty notes. Drinkable, but not Adnams’ best.

Dark brown, with ruby ​​flashes. Foam slightly beige, not too abundant. Rich, toasty, fruity aroma with melanoid and caramel notes. Liquorice tone in the mouth, breadiness, sponge cake, slightly sour notes. Surprisingly slim body. Chocolate and herbs on the finish. Alcohol well hidden, delayed slight warming in the throat. Dangerously delicious.

Almost black. Aroma is mushroom, roast, dark cocoa, almost burned. Taste is umami with some roasty bitterness. Low sweetness and medium carbonation induced sourness. Quite rough. The carbonation is mainly thick bubbles, something foamy would have fit nicer. Not bad nonetheless and good body for 4 abv.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è intenso.. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, liquirizia, frutta secca, luppolo, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, pompelmo e camomilla.

0.5l Can @ 4.1ABV.
Pours a clear dark copper. Scent is intense, typical English malts, bit toasty, coockie dough, whiff of caramel. Quite nice ! Taste is more bitter than expected, and more bitter than other bitter's i've had - but still very balanced and smooth, giving room to the malts to shine brightly. All the same as the aroma's, with additional earthy aroma's from the hop (very mild) as well as a touch of 'green' herbal hoppy notes. Toasty, medium bitter finish. Easy drinkability, with medium low to medium carbo. Very enjoyable !
