500 ml bottle, from EKO Market, Stavanger. ABV is 3.8%. Clear and deep mahogany colour, large off-white to beige head. Aroma of malts, caramel and dark rye bread, hints of dark fruits. Smooth and pleasant flavour with the same elements, not too sweet, hints of burnt breadcrumbs, very moderate but still noticeable bittering hops.

750 ml orange waxed green bottle, vintage 2023, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.5. Clear and very pale golden colour, a slight carbonation. Aroma of apples, pears and white grapes.
