This Norwegian gruit (non hopped) ale has a powerful aroma of smoke and juniper. It pours an amber brown color with a very big head. The flavor starts off with smoked malt (beechwood would be my guess but I suppose aspen would not be out of the question) that moves on to a touch of molasses and a bitter juniper mid to finish. Those flavors linger on the tongue for some time but the dryness of the finish leaves you wanting more.
