341 ml bottle, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 13%. Mahogany colour, small off-white to beige head. Pleasant malty aroma, also notes of oak, port wine and dark dried fruits. The flavour has some malty sweetness as expected, but is not overly sweet or cloying. You get the same elements as in the aroma, distinctly oaky, but also with a distinct hop bitterness in the finish. It is permitted to share the bottle between two persons, but I had no problem polishing off the bottle on my own.
