Good dense and finebubbled, dirty-cream head over cola-coloured beer. Sweet dark malts, dark bread, maybe some molasses and manure. Sweet, dark malts, more dark bread. Bit soft drink finish, but aftertaste is bitterish, even hoppy. Rather spritzy MF, if not fizzy; light bodied. Very drinkeable, rather agreable dark lager. Beats anything I had so far from Iceland by lightyears.

Bottled (thanks to Thomas B for bringing this beauty home from Iceland!). Deep ambery brown colour with small beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, some hops with mild toffee, burnt wood and smoky notes. Also quite nutty notes towards the finish. Way more complex than I waited it to be. Well done!

Angry fist of Santa tasting at Chris_o’s. Gold, thin white head. Poor pale lager. That’s pretty poor.

330 ml bottle purchased at the Vín Búð - Kringlan, Reykjavik, Iceland. Pour is clear golden with small carbonation bubbles and a big, thick white head. Head is quite lasting, when it finally retreated it left behind some nice lacing. Aroma of slightly sweet corn maltiness. There is just a hint of earthy hops in the background. Taste is faintly sweet maltiness, earthy hops and then finishes with corn. The label lists Saaz, but not too much of that came through in the taste. The after taste lingers just a bit too long, and is somewhat dirty hay tasting. Overall, decently made beer, somewhere in the middle of the pack of the Icelandic beers I have had.

Bottle at Rover, Göteborg; great generosity of Pelle
Dark amber color; creamy head. Light aroma of cereals, carmel and very light Saaz. Medium body strength, with a strong caramel flavor and some dark chocolate; it has a good bitterness level, but the caramelized malts cover the hop. The end is dry, as it seems to be quite common for this brewery. Not bad.
