Drink legendary. This distinct ruby beer’s sweet caramel and fruity aromas tease the taste buds. Brewed with smooth and rich Chocolate and Crystal malts & a blend of Fuggles and Styrian Golding hops. Expect a delicious full-bodied toffee flavour and a fruity finish of figs, raisins and dates.

Bottle from Systembolaget, Sweden.
Short, medium, light brown head.
Nice, clear red-brown color.
A dark roasted caramell malty taste with a litle chocolate and firm bitterness for a bitter.
