Bottle 33 cl. Vintage 2025. Pours a cloudy, opaque black with a lacing, beige head. Aroma of roast, molasses and dark, dried fruits - quite complex. Rich body, roast, molasses and overripe fruit. Some sweetness and Christmas pudding. Subtle bitterness. Very interesting Old Ale. 020226

Bottle. A mostly clear brown beer with a small, dense, beige head. Lightly malty aroma, bread and caramel, some candy notes too, and a light fruityness. It's medium bodied and nicely carbonated, semi-sweet, with a decent bitterness level. Bread, caramel and a touch of roasted malts and fruityness in the flavor. Some candy-ish sweetness too, but it dries up towards the finish. Decent, but works better with food than as a drinking beer. 241201

Bottle from Systembolaget, e-order in December 2018. Dark amber/brown with a medium slightly tan head. Sweetish with malt, caramel, light butter, dried fruit and something odd. The body was medium and the finish with hints of something sour. Not the best of beers.
