Brunfärgad vätska med tunt skumlock. Svaga aromer av rågbröd och farinsocker. Maltig i smaken med en neutral beska. Överraskande torr med en bränd karamellton.

Tap. Brown with a light beige head. Aroma of spiced singed toffee. So it tastes with firm - decisive - bitterness at the end. Good.

Pours dark amber, borderlining light brown. Not too easy to tell, but still looks clear. Small to medium sized but pretty dense and nicely persistent slightly off-white head. Not very strong but very well refined aroma: caramel and nutty notes among a background cola-like feel. Notes of herbs/bitter radishes in the back. As mentioned, very delicate and well-integrated, somehow even quite refreshing. Taste notes follow the aroma. Caramel and nutty malts base, a bit of cola-like feel, herbs and bitter radishes, maybe slight liquorice. Complex but very well defined and integrated. Overall, medium to high in both sweetness and bitterness, with perfect throughout taste and aftertaste and a dry, slightly astringent finish (kind of tea-like). Quite light in body, with average, fine-bubbled carbonation. Feels pleasantly smooth and even quite refreshing on the mouth. Excellent drinkability. Excellent beer overall.

Bottle given to me from a friend. Pours a deep reddish brown colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Nice lacing. Aromas of dark fruits, caramel, roasted malts and toasty bread. Taste has more upfront roasty and toasty notes. More caramel and also added notes of nuts and leather. A nice bitterness on the finish. Full bodied and a nice amount of carbonation on the palate. Excellent beer.

Thanks Shu for sharing! Taster showing amber brown with half a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows moderately intense and clean notes of malt with hints of light hops. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Clean with light notes of smoked malt and a hoppy bitterness on the finish followed by more grainy malt.
