375 ml corked (plastic cork, nearly impossible to open) green bottle, bought from Vinmonopolet (Nettbutikken) May/June 2012. Bottled on 06.12.11, bottle No. 5665 of 7902 ABV is 11.8%. Beautiful reddish brown colour, low off-white head. Strong oxidised aroma of malts, oak and fusel alcohols, hints of dried figs. Minimal carbonation in the mouth. The flavour is very oaky and oxidised, not very sweet, with moderate hops. Not worth the high price.

Shared 330 ml can at Christmas Eve, we all hated this one. A terrible Radler with n/a beer and Norwegian "julebrus" (Christmas soda) - aroma and flavour of bubblegum, chemical waste and vomit. Message to Klokk: It is allowed to make experiments, but when the experiment is not successful, it is also allowed to pour the entire batch down the drain. You just can't sell crap like this.

February 2002: I got this in a 4,7% version in Norway some years ago. According to other reviewers, the slightly increased alcohol hasn't helped much. Are the Swedes as unsuccessful with beer as they are in the Winter Olympics?
