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.

Dark brown pour from bottle with white head foam. Roasted malts and barley. Crisp biting hops and chewy toffee. A decent exemplar.

Bottle. Love the lable. Aroma, malty with a slight hint of fruit. Color, copper with a good head that doesn’t last too long. Taste, nice malty, with a little hops. Recommend this one.

0.5 l bottle. Pours mahogany with thin, persistent head. Nose is fruity-flowery with decent malty backbone. Same applies to the taste: fruits come upfront, followed by biscuit-like malts. Decent, and well rounded. Short bittersweet finish, soft carbo, light body. Proper bitter.
