Draught @ BBB. Batch #2. Pours viscous blackish dark brown with a small mocha head that leaves a small trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toffee, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, heavy vanilla beans, moist soil, chocolate syrup and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter and malty. Mouthfeel is soft, round, tiny roasted astringent, slightly boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, burnt caramel, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, tons of vanilla beans, raisins, moist soil and hints of alcohol. Bit hot and vanilla heavy for me. Reminds me a lot of the RLGK celebration stout from All In Brewing when that was young and that developed beautifully during its first year so I hope to revisit this in a couple of months.

On tap at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Black colour, moderate beige head. Aroma of malts and coconut, hints of smoke and dried fruits. Refreshing flavour, not too sweet. Notes of roast malts, mild coffee, fruity hops, coconut and chocolate. Dry and medium bitter finish.

Nice refreshing wit. Maybe a little bit more a fruit beer.
Unclear yellow color with a white head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Peach fruity. Medium body and maybe a bit to rich carbonation. The carbonation level was better after a while. Lots of peach in the flavor also. Some yeast, coriander and citrus after a while.
[Bottle from Ølgaarden/Gulating in Fredrikstad, Norway]
