From a 750 ml. corked and waxed top bottle with no date but a stamp marked L#3-130. Sampled on June 28, 2023. Needed a corkscrew to open it.
The pour is reddish-amber with a slight cloudiness and a fading tan head. Some lacing.
The aroma expresses roasted caramel malts, oak, pears, nuttiness, and a slight booze note.
The mouthfeel is medium to high. Smooth but astringent.
The taste is immediately sweet with caramel malts, cherry, pears, crackers, nuts, spice, and a mildly dry finish. There are better ones out there in this style but it had some enjoyable qualities.

Bottle, ABV 10%, at RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Hazy orange to amber colour, moderate head. The aroma and flavour are oaky with hints of whisky and funky notes. Interesting and powerful beer.

Listed on the "1001", I am highly unlikely to have this again given that Elixir has too much good competition among the BSAs.
