    Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

    330 ml bottle, batch #810, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.2%. Golden colour, hazy when the lees are poured in the end, large white head. Aroma of tangerine, some dust and grain in the background. Flavour of citrus, medium dry, again some grain in the background. A moderate bitterness. One-dimensional, not bad, but hardly a beer I'll buy again.

  • Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

    330 ml can, as Fauve Fleur Noire Imperial Stout Vanille - Cacao - Tonka, from Vinmonopolet Kvadrat. ABV is 12%. Pitch black colour, moderate brown head. Aroma of roast malts, vanilla, chocolate and the usual unpleasant notes of tonka beans (which I hate). Warming mouthfeel. Sweet flavour with the same elements as the aroma, ruined by tonka beans. I don't know why I bought this beer in the first place - I must have been drunk.
