Kloster is our version of a Belgian abbey ale. Dark as an abbey’s cellar. Complex aroma with characteristic sweetness and convincing strength. A beer to experience!
This entry is for the filtered 7% Kloster, that was produced until 2005. The 9% version (that used to be called Julkloster until 2005) should be rated under Kloster 2005-.

Bottled (2002 vintage, thanks omhper!). Dark brown colour with small brown bubbly head. Aroma is malts, with caramel, nuts and some alcohol. Also some slight not-too-sweet Madeiranotes. Flavour is big bready malts balanced up with caramel, raisins and alcohol. Aftertaste has some signs of roastyness and dark dry fruits. Ages well. Rich tonguetickling carbonation.

Thin offwhite ring is all the head there is. Body is hazy purplish red with a brown tinge. Sweet earthy tobaccoish wild berry and licorice aroma with sharpish toffee and alcohol notes. Deep sweet tobacco and earth licorice and wild berry taste with bitterish edge to it. Spicy, dry aftertaste. Very nice. (0.33l bottle at Tegners.)

Nut brown, hazy, no head. Yeast, sahti-like aroma. Juniper-like flavor, very sahti-like, a bit sweet, dry aftertaste. The closest to sahti you can get in Sweden and really one. I wonder what they’ve done with this patch however.(7/3/8/4/15 3.7)
Bottle at SBWF 2009. Vintage 1999.

(Bottle 33 cl) A very noisy beer, lots of fizz here. The CO2 vanishes rather quickly though. Dark brown and unclear, rather small head. Spicy nose reminding me of a port. Extremely complex aroma reminding me of a strong Belgian Trappist. All the usual notes of dates, chocolate rounded with some dry aroma hops. Very well crafted. 160402

Very dark red-brown; yellowish head, very fast gone. Rich fruity nose, orangepeel, vinous, brown candy sugar. Woody taste, liquorice, vinous, sweet. There’s quite some caramel in this sweetness. After some time, spices enter: again, I guess, orangepeel, as well as a very earthy flavour. Well bodied, less attenuated than most doubles. A bit sweet, really, very much in the Scandinavian Jul-Ol pattern. These Vikings love their glögg too much.

Bottle, best before 3.7.04 Fresh citric (orangepeel and lemon), spicy and raisiny aroma. Chestnut color, many champagne bubbles, low amber creamy head. A very fresh and refreshing dubbel: Citric and floral notes in contrast to the heavier raisin, plum and wooden cognac notes. Relatively light body, spakly mouthfeel. Brilliant! A dubbel for the summer heat, I like it.
