Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Storo, Oslo. Vintage 2016. Clear dark brown with a lasting beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty, a little roasted malt, dark fruit and light tart. Flavor is quite sweet and slightly acidic. Dry and slightly acidic finish. Judging by earlier ratings the tartness must have developed over time. It suits the beer well, though. 111119

Bottle at a tasting. Sourdough, yeasty. A bit of smoke. Lemony, zesty. Light acidity. Actually works in its own way. Thin body, high carbonation. Slightly wheaty too. Good.

Bottle shared with JFE at Vaaland Bryghuus 09.11.19. Clear pale straw colour. Off-white head and lacing. Superb aroma and taste of moderate smoked malt, barn and hay. Well-balanced. Moderate bitterness, hay and smoke is lingering on. Good!

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.0%. Amber colour, moderate white head. Distinct and unbalanced aroma of yeast, like in so many other Aja beers, explaining why the brewery is now out of business. Also earthy notes with hints of blackcurrants. The flavour is also earthy and moderately yeasty, slightly sweet with blackcurrant notes again. Moderate bitterness. Could have been worse, but could also have been so much better.

Taste is moderate sweet malt, caramel, hint of chocolate, moderate bitterness and slightly metallic. Medium to thin bodied and slightly sour malty aftertaste.
