330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 10%. Copper coloured beer with a big and lasting beige head. Nice aroma of malts, caramel, brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. The flavour is malty sweet with some unwanted metallic sidenotes, also notes of caramel and brown sugar, hints of spices, moderate hops in the finish. Alcohol is noticeable throughout. Not in the league of the trappists this one.

Dark chocolate brown with plenty of beige head. No remarkable aroma. Medium body and carbonation. Sweet malt with miscellaneous other flavours giving some complexity. Strong and drinkable but unremarkable.

Bottle from Dranken Geers. Reddish brown with thin beige head. Malty fruity aroma. I suppose it’s a bit like a quad, but tastes more of a cross between a brune and a European strong lager. The alcohol is too obvious. Aroma of fruit and dry malt is attractive. Bit unsubtle and not enough body and flavour to support the alcohol.

Creme denso e consistente. No aroma e no paladar, madeira, frutas vermelhas e leve sugestão de licor. O final é longo e levemente amargo. Delícia.
