1 pt. 6 fl. oz. bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6.5%. Very dark brown colour, big to moderate beige head. Moderate aroma of caramel and toasted brown bread, hints of dark dried fruits. Decent flavour, caramel and toasted brown bread again, a hint of fruit, moderate but sufficient hops in the finish. Well balanced and pleasant to drink.

Honestly this beer surprised me. Smokey, roasty, malty, hoppy, grainy. I'll be looking for more Amber lagers for sure, and specifically this one.

Comes out brown with a ruby dark red to the edge of the glass making a soft off white head 2/3" deep. Aroma didn't drop much on me.
Taste was a smoky malt lager, brown malt, hot rocks make a sticky viscosity and coating when you drink it. I don't see myself going back to this one beyond this one tick, but its a decently priced bomber and unique beer.
