Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a dark amber colored beer with a small, off-white head. Strange fruity nose with some malts and an earthy touch. Rather herbal bitterness, some caramel in the flavor. Medium body, dry. Bitter finish. Hmm, not sure about this one, it sure didn’t suit my palate, but I can’t really point out what’s wrong. 110318

Bottle @ Norway/Denmark Tasting @ Ulfborg. Courtesy of Fonefan. Pours clear amber with a small bubbly white head. A bit of toffee and citrus. Dry and fruity hoppy flavor. A bit thin palate. Refreshing!

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A light brown head of moderate size sits on top of a clear dark chestnut body. Roasted, almost burnt maltyness in the aroma, quite fruity and with a touch of prunes. A bit thin on the palate, with roasted malts, some coffee and a little fruityness. Lacks a bit on hoppy bitterness and flavor I think, but overall, a pleasant beer. 110318
