| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 15, 2009 Wow! wish I could find more of this stuff. I felt like this beer while not extremely unique or complex did everything right. One of the most balanced beers I’ve ever had, good hop bitterness and malt sweetness, mild dry bitter finish with the malts comming in at just the right time to keep it in check. Not a fan of barley wines, but this one makes me a fan of at least one! abemorsten (179), Randaberg, Norway
