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!

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).

Can at home. Pours clear dark copper with off-white head. Aroma of dark bread, dark dried fruits, chocolate. Tastes slightly sweet with more than balancing bitterness. Medium bodied.
