330ml can, beer gift from Esben. Stable fawn-coloured head, deep rosewood coloured body, clingy lacing. Smell of bread and dark fruits. Spiced malt-fruity flavours, moments of caramel, bread and dried fruits. Gets rather sweet to the ending. Medium bodied. Satisfying. (Shared with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 31.01.2018).

Can. Has a clear dark brown to black colour with a huge beige head. Sweet aroma of chocolate, lactose, sweet licorice and grass. The flavour is similar with chocolate cake, lactose and hazelnuts. Has a soft and silky mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Sweet and malty.

Originally rated in July 2017 as the original rating got merged with another beer by mistake: Sample from 33 cl bottle, bought at Vinbudin. Sweet aroma raspberries, pale malts and sugars. Taste is sweet. Medium bodied. Finishes sweet with raspberries and sugars. An okay refreshing drink to the sweeter side.

50 cl can from Nettó. Dark brown colour with a thin lightly tanned head. Sweet aroma with caramel, liquorice, brewing wort, brown sugar. Taste is sweet. Light body with a thin texture and a soft carbonation. Short, sweet finish with brown sugar and caramel. Reminds me of the American Root beer or the Danish hvidtøl. This was what the poor Icelandic people could drink before the ban on beers disappeared in 1989...
