500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Allegedly a Bavarian style wheat beer, but it is brewed with orange peel and coriander, like a Belgian witbier. Nearly clear deep golden to amber colour, small white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, brown bread, hints of over-ripe red fruits. The flavour is moderately malty and fruity, with red and dried fruits more than citrus. Moderate hops. Pleasant to drink. Tastes like a decent English bitter more than anything wheaty. I rate beers on a hedonistic scale, and liked this one - if I rated by style, it would fail.

Bottle from Beersofeurope. Pours a pitch black colour with a medium to large sized thick creamy beige head. Aromas of roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and hints of brown sugar. Taste is similar to the aroma with more of the same notes. Medium bodied, smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Roasty, slightly bitter and ashy finish. Not bad.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Label says 5.6%. Pours a clear copper colour with a thin off-white head. Low gentle carbonation. Aromas of caramel, toffee, biscuits and floral hops. Taste has the same notes as the aroma with added nuts, faint citrus notes, orange peel and a spicy peppery finish. Thin to medium bodied with a slick oily mouthfeel. Spicy, peppery and earthy hop bitter aftertaste. Quite nice if not very Christmassy.
