(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Ever so slightly hazy reddish brown with a tall and dense shaving foam style head. Roasted malt aroma with a little fruit and burned malt. Medium body with sweetish roasted malt and fruit combined also with yeast and a burned, lightly ashy edge. Dry and lightly malt bitter finish with some alcohol showing. 260708

Dark red with a nice head. The aroma has malt, spruce (gran) and perhaps some biscuit and a yeast aroma. The flavor is also good, with notes of coffee too, and dark fruit like prunes.
