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.

Bottle @ gunnfryd. Clear deep amber body under a lacing, dense beige head. Aroma has sweet malt, dry fruit and hint of wood. Taste is super smooth, sweet malt, dry fruit, mild and warming alcohol, nice oak and balanced bitterness. Borderline barley wine and imperial stout but mostly barley wine. Well made, smooth and balanced. Long lasting aftertaste.

Bottle @ gunnfryd. Clear black body under a beige head. Nice aroma of dark malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste is surprisingly mild in alcohol considering the high ABV and feels actually pretty smooth. Fine balance with dark malt, balanced sweetness, chocolate and light smoke in the finish.

Can @ gunnfryd. Unclear golden body under a white head. Aroma has tropical fruits and light malt. Taste is light malt, mild fruitiness and some bitterness. Medium body a bit short in aftertaste. Easy going, drinkable but I’m expecting some more maltiness and bitter sting from a west coast. Nice to see the style is getting back in fashion then.

Bottle @ gunnfryd. Black body under a small, fast disappearing beige head. Strong peated aroma, dark malt, roasted, liquorices and boozy alcohol. Taste is very sweet, sticky sweet with roasted dark malt, molasses, plenty of peat, liquorices, oak and warming alcohol. Full bodied with long lasting, sweet and boozy aftertaste. Lots of flavours here, but quite raw and boozy.

Can @ gunnfryd. Slightly unclear reddish golden body under a small beige head. Aroma has milk chocolate and hint of red berries. Taste is malt, bread, caramel and moderate hoppy. Like the style, but this ends up a bit to thin and anonymous for my taste.
