Pours clear, dark caramelly brown. Not much head. Smell is sharp, meat (very prominently 'salami' kinda meat) Taste is sharp, again, more salami than the more common bacon-like aroma. Mild sharpness from the malts. Decent, but not my style, and not a good example from what the style generally is.

Pours mildly unclear blonde, medium small white head. Smell is DMS, just a bit to much to be acceptable. Very mild oxidation as well. Taste is sharp, bitter, grainy, DMS, medium body, high carbo. Decent offering, if not for the overly prominent DMS. Could use some finetuning in the recipe as a whole, to make the desires tastes shine more. No real aftertaste.

Bottle provided by TheCellarer. Pearl white tophead to a clear golden body. Golden body with a slight haze. Lacing rings down the glass. Hints of leafy hops and mild malty sweetness on the nose. Flavoured with ripe citrus and mid-sweet caramel. Malt-fruity bitterness to the ending. Foamy in the mouth. Satisfying. (Shared at a session with Finn, TheCellarer, janeriks and Snegurochka, at Finn's in Tromsø 29.09.2017).

Bottle provided by TheCellarer. A slightly off-white head to a misty golden body. Spotty lacing. Mid-sweet grainy malts and almond n the nose. Similar taste of grain, almond and a short backdrop of earthy bitterness. So and so. (Shared at a session with Finn, TheCellarer, janeriks and Snegurochka, Tromsø 29.09.2017).

Fra flaske spandert av TheCellarer. Delt med ham, janeriks, Rune og Snegurochka på Nerstranda 29 Sep 17. Gyldengul. Veldig høyt - plagsomt - skum som daler sakte. Litt uklar. Forsiktig fruktaroma. Smaken plommer. Blir tørr etter hvert.
