Can, huge thx djoeye! Murky golden body, off-white head. Heavily oxidized, stale stone fruit aroma, dusty. Creamy taste, orange peel, heaps of dust from the oxidation. I mean, I can see this being okay if it wasn't dead (best before October 2027 lol). Soapy, lightly tart.... nah, sorry, hope to rerate it fresh, but it's just off.

This can was a gift from Holmes! Pours a hazy orange brown with an off-white head. Smoky, Malty aroma. The flavour is very full, as it should be at 9% ABV. There is a balance of peat smoke, marmalade, plums and vanilla. Very harmonious, with a tantalising flavour of Islay whisky.
A long aftertaste of bitter orange and peat. Delicious!

From can at MB2 15.02.26. Cloudy mahogany. Beige head. Aroma and taste of medium dark malt, toffee and canned fruit. Not too bad. Fine mouthfeel for such a low ABV.

330ml can. Thanks to Frida and Esben for this one. Covering fawn coloured head, deep dark brownish body, fragile lacing. Malt-driven aromas, hints of caramel, inviting. Quite well blended flavours of nutty caramel, earthy chocolate and a hint of ash. Smoothly roasted malty ending. Fine bodied. Like it. (Tromsø, 11.01.2026).

Shared bottle at home. Pours clear dark copper with almost no head. Aroma of cocoa nibs, dark dried fruits, dark bread, soy sauce, perfume, ethanol, liquorice, caramel. Tastes salty, with some sweetness and balancing bitterness. Medium bodied, alcoholic warmth, smooth mouth feel, low carbonation. If I remember previous editions correctly, the 2025 vintage appears to be more balanced and more "round" than the earlier ones.
