| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 13, 2009 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Like all bottled beers from this brewery, it is filtered to remove all remaining yeast (but possibly not pasteurised?). ABV is 4.5%. Dark brown colour, low head. Nice aroma of chocolate, mild coffee and lightly roasted malts. The flavour is moderately fruity (dark fruits) and roasty, fairly dry, notes of mild coffee, hints of dark chocolate and resin. Pleasant to drink. More of a porter than an old ale in my book. abemorsten (180), Randaberg, Norway

Smells roasted barley, soy sauce and a bit floral. Tastes lightly sweet and bitter and finishes sour and salty. Light to medium bodied. Milky/watery texture and softly carbonated.

Pours clear deep chestnut red with a small, off-white film head. Aroma is fruity, raspberries, a bit of peaty malts. Light sweet caramel. Medium carbonation, thin-ish mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit weird, lots of smokey malts. Some caramel malts, dryness. Peaty notes with a very dry finish. Different, but rather likeable. yngwie (5000), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2009 Bottle, shared by Papsoe. A clear, copper-colored beer with an off-white to beige head. Some peat aromas initially, followed by a malty, burnt, almost bonfire-like aroma. Peat and caramel in the mouth, with some fruityness to support. Peat and caramel in the finish. Medium to full body, rather dry. A rather uninteresting beer, but I like the peat in this one. (090514) yespr (12406), Copenhagen O, Denmark
