April 2021: 440 ml can, batch #267, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Black colour, large beige head. Aroma of moderately roasted malts, chocolate, hints of mild coffee and blackberries. Pleasant flavour, not too sweet, but not too dry and ashy either. Roast malts, dark chocolate and coffee, a certain fruitiness of blackberries and blackcurrants. Bittering hops and more roast malts in the aftertaste.

August 2020: 330 ml bottle, batch L33, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Deep golden to orange colour, enormous white head, apparently overcarbonated, takes "forever" to settle. Aroma of dust, grain and some fruity and piney hops. Good malt body for a beer of this ABV. Hoppy flavour with a resinous and grapefruity bitterness, notes of yeast too.

April 2021: 330 ml bottle, batch L378, from Det Gode Brygg, Kvadrat. ABV is 4.7%. Hazy brownish orange colour, large white (or slightly off-white) head. Very moderate aroma, hints of citrus and dust. The flavour is first yeasty and malty, followed by a sharp and medicinal hop bitterness. Not a favourite of mine.
