Swing top 50cl bottle pours with a clear deep mahogany colored body that has ruty ruby red edges and supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up prunes, figs, brown sugar, spicy black strap molasses and caramel. The taste delivers smooth inviting jammy blueberry, some figs, prunes and molasses. Yes! To midway it becomes faintly earthy as an equally faint caramel note is noticed. This is just a solid rewarding sipper and the ABV is no where to be found. Tastes like it could be a 7% beer. Well played Ska.

Keg at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Hazy chocolate brown, minimal head. First and foremost bourbon up front. Some caramel and vanilla too. Sweet with full body and clean rounded mouthfeel. Bourbon, rubber and play-do keeps growing. Peppery finish. Nice bourbon aroma, then strange, edgy and muddled.
