Can poured into a plastic glass at a rock concert in Tromsø with the up-coming band Vishnu and the well known Norwegian band Ricochets. Dark golden lager beer with smell of bread. Grain and malt dominate the body and the finish. Watery. Alright as a concert beer, but the music was much better than the beer.

On tap at Mack’s Ølhallen in Tromsø. Clear deep brown colour. Some beige foam. Malty nose. Sweet malty and caramel flavours. Satisfying aftertaste. Still as good as before xmas.
Rerated: 500ml at tap on Ølhallen. The 2006 etition has got a nice mahogany coloured body with a low-level, but lasting, off-white head. Medium aroma of burnt malt with hints of dark fruits. Well balanced flavour of dark, roasted caramel and some notes of grain. Warming alcohol remains in the background towards the ending. Moderate palate and a bit crispated. Same score as vintage 2005 (31.10.2006).
