UPDATED: OCT 14, 2022 Svart med lyst brun skum. Lukter svisker, mokkabønner, cherry. Smaker svisker, mørk sjokolade, lakris. Samme som normal nordic noir når det gjelder kullsyre. Livlig🙂. Noe mykere avslutning.

UPDATED: FEB 20, 2022 Цвет темно-коричневый. Пены нет. Карбонизация практически нулевая. Аромат темных сухофруктов и хересной бочки. Тело плотное, темные сухофрукты, слива, ноты хереса и портвейна. Сладости конечно многовато, но она тут в тему. Послевкусие довольно продолжительное и многогранное. Алкоголь скрыт прекрасно, а его тут 15 гр. Ну, что сказать - это мировой класс. Такой пивной портвейн вышел. Очень интересный опыт.)

UPDATED: DEC 2, 2021 Aluminium boxed bottle at home. Very dark brown, beige foamy head. Lots of sherry sweetish red fruits, dried fruits like raisins, vanilla. Big flavors, medium-good body.

UPDATED: SEP 27, 2021 Dark brown beer, no head. Perfumey, wood, sweet alcoholic aromas. Young oak, vanilla, sweet raisins-filled sausage. Warming up, the sherry appears, and the whole becomes more fruity. Chewy, syrupy, 'hot'being euphemistic. Certainly an addition to the base beer, if not necessarily better (nose excepted).

UPDATED: AUG 27, 2021 Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Kvadrat. Pours almost pitch black with a small creamy tan head. Aroma of dark malts,weak roast with noticeable barrel and sherry. Taste is light sweet dark malts and sugars, wood and barrel, noticeable sweet alcohol burn at the finish

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2021 Bottle: Poured a dark murky brown color ale with a medium size dark brown foamy head with limited retention and some minimal lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with some residual sugar notes with some juniper notes and some other spices also noticeable with some strong sherry notes rounding all the flavours. Taste is a complex mix of plums and other residual sugar notes with some juniper notes some chocolate malt and caramelized notes with some residual sugar notes with some very nice sherry notes. Body is full with good carbonation with some warming alcohol notes also discernible. Solid and complex beer with minimal reference point to compare to and sherry notes also brings an extra dimension to this beer.
