From a 500ml plastic bottle, kindly shared by djoeye. Dark red-orange coloured body. No head, poor lacing. Sweet bread on the nose, hints of dried fruits. Jam-like taste of dried fruit, honey, and sweet bread. Sweet ending, and overall way too sweet (Tromsø 07.05.2014).

Bottle, 1.5ltr, at Anker Hostel kvass rating session 2014. It’s a clear, dark brown beer with some beige bubbles on top. The aroma has quite a lot of cola, as well as caramel and some wort. Not much rye bread. The flavor is too sweet, lacking on rye bread. Caramel, raisins and cola. Thin and soft on the palate. Short, sweet cola finish. Too sweet this one, but sort of drinkable. 140503
