The first non-Mikkeller beer from the Mikkeller box, this being a brown ale from a little brewery on an island off the west coast of Norway. Named "Peace of mind", this is their version of an English brown ale using a variety of malts and Hallertau Northern Brewer & Fuggles hops. I served this chilled.

Appearance: A deep brown with a slight ruby hint when held to the light. The head is a light malt extract/ovaltine colour, it shrinks to a couple of mm but stays thick and lasts a long time.
Aroma: Sweet malt with a little smokey sausage and a small bit of metal in the back.
Flavour: Quite light on the front, with some molassus without the sweetness, and a little bit of roasted notes.
Body: A little bit watery, but only in the front, and more refreshing in the back, and a hine of creaminess.
Aftertaste: A mix of raspberries with a hint of marmite and coffee in the back.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, dark and fruity if not a little watery.
Price Range: Another from the box of 10 I got for £14 (usually £29), so it works out at £1.40 for a 330ml bottle, it's a good price and I would definitely get it again for that price.
Food Pairings: This would pair perfectly with Cranachan, the raspberry and dark notes working so well.
