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.
