Bottled, 33cl. Cloudy, red-orange with a beige head. Light citric, yet sweet and malty aroma. Candi-sweet flavor with bitterness. Full-bodied and with a bitter finish. Rating: 6-4-8-4-16-3.8 (060328)
Bottle, 33cl. In my head, I had memories of a slightly hazy beer, but this time it was translucent. Deep, reddish brown body, with a nice, creamy, beige head on top. Good retention and pretty lacings. Dried fruits, some fresh fruityness, a hint of yeast and a good sweetness in the aroma. Some chocolate as well. The flavor is sweet and sugary, but the sweetness is far from alone. There’s a very present flavor of dried fruits, and also a nice bitterness that lasts. It has a slightly warming mouthfeel, it’s quite sticky and full-bodied. A weak note of cocoa is also present in the flavor. As the beer warms up a bit, a subdued sour note appeares in the aroma, but it’s far from spoiling the experience. I like this one, but I don’t think it would be fair lifting my score any further. It suits the colder months best, and it gives me a little christmasy feeling. Pity it’s so unavailable here in Norway, even though it’s available at Vinmonopolet. (071204)

Aug 22, 2008 35,5cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. It poured a red-brown colour with a big beige head that settled down fast in the glass. It has a fruity flavour that smells of raisins and yeast. The flavour is slightly bitter and tastes of raisins, malts and a hint of coffee. It has a short aftertaste.

Aug 21, 2008 Pours a nice amber/brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is sweetish with predominant yeast. Flavors are a bit fruity, but not as sweet as expected. Weakest point of this beer is that it is a bit thin, and somewhat overcarbonated. Good beer.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottled. Pours very dark brown, almost black, with a very large foamy head. Aroma is full of yeast and slightly malty. Taste is malty and sweet, like black cherries. The bottle recommends serving at 45-55 F but I didn’t like the palate. A little too much bite. I enjoyed it much more as the beer warmed.
