For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Backlog November 2009. Unclear golden body under a dense white head. Aroma feels actually sweet, malt, spicy and less alcoholic than expected for this. Taste is sweet, mild malt, dry fruit, herbal and alcohol a bit more in the expected range for a 11% beer. Nothing extraordinary, but quite likeable anyway.

Backlog November 2009. In according to my notes this was brewed by Lefebvre, but not able to find any match on them so this might be the same beer. Clear golden body under a white head. Aroma of sweet, pale malt. A bit fruity and spicy yeast. Taste is sweet and mild with pale malt, white sugar, yeast and a bit spicy/herbal. Medium body with average aftertaste.

Can from Gulating. Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma has some malt with distinct brown cheese/caramel. Taste is smooth with malt and brown cheese, medium sweet lactose and moderate bitter. Without knowing this is brown cheese, it could easily go for mild caramel or toffee. Actually, a pretty balanced pastry beer at only 4,7 % ABV. Unusually, fun and quite drinkable.

Can from Gulating. Unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma is mild malty with no sign of choco. Taste is also on the malty side, medium sweet with a slightly sour touch and hint of some kind of bitterness, not necessary from the hops. Medium body with average aftertaste. Not the best or interesting beer from this calendar.
