20/9/2019. Bottle from Rúsdrekkasøla Landsins, Tórshavn (courtesy of Painy). Pours dull dark amber with an average size off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, fruit, hops, toffee, hint of chocolate, grain and grass. Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average to spritzy carbonation. Didn't have a lot to beat, but this is the best I've had so far from Okkara.
