Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a light cloudy gold, moderate sized white head which receded rather quickly. Aroma is mainly sweet malts but also tangy pear and spice. Taste is malty, light fruitiness and herbal bitterness in the finish Light to medium bodied. Average.

Cals at Archibald Simpsons, Aberdeen. It pours clear chestnut brown. With a a handsome frothy beige head. The aroma is toasty grains, earthy, woody, nutty, filter coffee, raisin, sultana, toasted fruit cake and cacao nibs. The taste is firmly dry, some pleasing bitterness which lingers, woody, sappy, resin, dull coffee, cacao nibs, earth, dried fruits , some spice and molasses with a drying, slightly toothy finish. Average body and soft, fluffy cask carbonation. Well put together, flavourful and in good condition. Nice one.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2024. Copper in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Caramel, earthy malts, some red berry sweetness, leading to a lingering, bitter, finish. Fine.

October 2020: 500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.1%. Beautiful mahogany colour, large to moderate off-white head. Malty aroma, notes of caramel, brown bread and roasted nuts. Malty flavour too, with the same elements as the aroma, but not too sweet. Decent earthy hops in the finish.
