Bottle at home. One year old bottle. Pours a hazy reddish brown colour with a small ivory head. Aroma of dried fruit, oak, heather, licorice, bread, nuts and a good dose of caramel. The flavour is also quite malty but still sweet with caramel, toasted bread and dried fruits being the most dominant. Grassy hops in the background. Has a slick and silky mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. A malty, sweet and well-balanced old ale. Delicious and easy-drinking.

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy dark orange-brown colour with a big off-white head. Aroma of raspberries as soon as you pour the beer, and along with earth, heather and tart berries. Hint of nail polish. Sweet and fruity flavour with raspberries, mango, strawberries and malty undertones of wood and bread. Has a slick and soft mouth feel, medium body and light bitterness. A successful and tasteful fruit beer that is not too sweet or otherwise unbalanced. A bit one-dimensional maybe but surprisingly easy-drinking.

Bottle at home. Has a slightly hazy dark orange colour with a light beige head. Aroma of moist basement, spices, rotten vegetables, parsnip, apricot, herbs, sap, cloudberries and hints of diacetyl. The more positive elements appears after the beer has been in the glass for a couple of minutes. The flavour is similar but there�s more sweet and fruity tones with the vegetables in the background. The ending is a little dry with grass. Has a soft and slick mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. A beer of two halves with nice fruity and berry flavours (diacetyl) on one side and vegetables of different states on the other. A little unbalanced and indeterminable.
