330ml botlle bought in January 2013 at The House of Trembling Madness Shop in York. Oily pour. Shiny naked surface. Deep, all-black body. No lacing. Dark malty nose. Malty base added by salt and sweet liquorice. A bland twist of malt bitterness to the ending. Rather flat in the mouth. Medium bodied. Alright, had expected more though (shared with Finn, Tromsø 05.03.2014).

Bottle. It’s a hazy, golden-orange colored beer topped by a small, off-white head. The aroma has some orange notes and generic citrus, with a touch of pale malts. The flavor has a faint bitterness, some orange and citrus, and with a touch of pale malts in the back. It’s full-bodied and quite effervescent on the palate. Semi-sweet. Medium length finish with some bitterness and citrus peel. Not bad this one, just boring. 140228
