| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 16, 2009 Aroma of slightly burnt caramel. Not bad at all but since I’m not keen on the sweet stuff in general not very exciting.
Initially malty body thinning out somewhat to reveal slight fruitiness – chocolate orange even – and leaving a touch of hops to lift things up. Rather pleasant if not very exciting. yespr (12404), Copenhagen O, Denmark

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 22, 2009 Flaske 0,33 l fra Systembolaget i Kiruna. Brun på farge. Lav skumdannelse. Fruktig aroma dominert av appelsin. Aromaen fortsetter i smaken men her kommer det inn mer frukt og litt malt. Bitterheten kommer sigende på etterhvert med islett av karamell. Godt øl - men ingen tørsteslukker: Mer et koseøl. KI=9 pilsnerrogge (1788), Finspång, Sweden
