Bottle, ABV 7.5%, at RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Reddish brown colour, moderate head. The aroma has notes of brown malts, caramel, dark dried fruits and oak, quite nice. The flavour has brown malts and rye bread, a little caramel and oak, not very sweet. The mouthfeel is a bit thin for a beer of this strength.

Golden color and thin white head. The aroma of intense malt is faithful to the style. Round body that opens to the whole fullness of the toasted malt. The dry and bitter end.

Bottle. Pours deep chestnut brown with a lovely, creamy, off-white head. Light lacing. Sweet, sugary aroma, Belgian sugar, liqourice and rye bread. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is a tad metallic, alcoholic dry, light caramel, Belgian sugar, liqourice. Far too harsh and sharp.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Light bitter slightly fruity (plumb and prune notes) flavor, overpowered by alcohol. Oily palate. Boring.

66.3 cL bottle. Pours dark maghoni brown with a fully diminished light tan head. Aroma is sweet breadish and mild cinnamon/cardemomme spiced. Sweet initial flavour, meets the back of the tongue with a more spiced breadish flavour and a light bitterness following. Somewhat dark fruity too.
