| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 1, 2008 bottle. Pours a deep mahogany, with traces of intense magenta. Head dissipates surprisingly fast. Aroma features cherry, wood, plum, caramel malt, and brown sugar. Carbonation is initially prickly, but palate calms to a smooth, almost syrupy, full-bodied feel that coats the mouth. Flavor is fruity sweet at first, with a touch of malty undertones. Mid-palate forwards some cough medicine, more fruit, and some roasts. Finishes similar, with warming alcohol touch. Overall, I am impressed by the “fullness” of this beer, but not sure I really enjoy all the flavor notes present (cherry, sweet roasts, cough medicine, etc). tarjei (1746), Bryne, Norway
