December 2022: 500 ml bottle, batch #81, from Vinmonopolet Egersund. Gluten free. ABV is 9%. Very dark brown to black colour, hardly any head. Aroma of caramel, molasses, brown kandij sugar syrup, brittle and malts. Very moderate carbonation. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, only a hint of whisky, but also an unexpected sharpish bitterness. Won't buy again.
