500ml can kindly shared by Magne. Pours a huge, rocky white head, solid lacing. Clear (dark) golden body. Pale malty smell with some moments of herbal hops. Light ripe fruity flavours joined by mid-sweet pale malts. Sweet malty end. Just alright, rather anonymous though. (Shared with friends at Prestvika, Sommarøya 02.09.2016).

33cl bottle from BeerExpress, Tallinn. Pours clear dark mahogany with a modest off-white head. Malty aroma with mild roasty notes, solid caramel and dried dark fruits with a hint of spices and alcohol. Sweet and caramelly with raisin flavour and warming alcohol. Nice as a winter warmer, not that fitting now in the middle of the summer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Boli Doppelbock on 20 Jul 2016 at 21:31 - Score: 7
