It’s an amazingly rich beer. You meet the complex flavour, rich taste and a palate growing for a long time afterwards. This beer can last for a long time, enjoying all stages for each sip!

Bottle that Kalli shared at haukur’s tasting on 1 May 2008. Pour is brown - amber - ruby, with only a thin off-white head. Aroma of honey sweetness, malty caramel, roast and peatiness. Very full nose, I sat just smelling this one for quite awhile. Taste is huge, very scotchy, malty, with the caramel muted. The finish is quite peaty and salty. Distinct, and really good. The palate is full and silky. Takk for sharing this one Karl.

Small beige head on red chestnut body; Quite carameled nose with a little to much plain malt apparent; Big body, to much carbonation, not full enough, sweet and bitter; To thin finish and quite alcohol sharp, lots of malt and dark caramel aromas.

Small light brown head. Deep red body. Deep sweetish malty wild berry aroma with spicy pepper and raisin notes. A touch of cinnamon, too. Sweet earthy caramelly cinnamon and licorice taste with raisin and chocolate notes. Light sweetish watery mouthfeel. Very good. (0.33l bottle shared with gr0ve.)

Dark ruby brown with a lasting tan head. Intense dried fruit aroma, with port and a little malt. Dry and malty, vineous with a rich finish of dried fruit and toffee malt.
