250ml bottle @ Pikkulintu, Helsinki. 2018 vintage (Svenskek). Stingy woody, oaky and roasty with some honey, licorice, molasses, syrup, rye, toffee and caramel. Pretty good, feels more stingy woody than OG Kaggen, but could also be because it's much more fresh than the bottles of Kaggen I've tried. Still pretty nice old skool BA is.

250ml bottle @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma color cappuccino, media e persistente. Al naso intense note di legno, cioccolato, sciroppo d'acero, caffè. In bocca è dolce all'attacco, cioccolatosa, con finale amaro caffettoso, legno nel retrolfattivo. Corpo pieno, vellutata la palato, carbonazione leggera. Birra straordinaria, solo verso metà bicchiere il legno stucca un po'.

Bottle at Man in the Moon in January 2013, labeled as Svensk Ek! Stormaktsporter 2009. The bottle cost 495 SEK. It poured pitch black with a small tan head. The aroma was fantastic of honey, roasted coffee, licorice and oak. Nice full body with a smooth carbonation. The taste started out with a big malt and honey sweetness. Also coffee and oak. The aftertaste was long and fairly bitter. As it warmed up I noticed more licorice and dark chocolate. Delicious and complex. Just lovely!

Bottle "Svensk ek!" at Man in the Moon. Pours heavy black with a rather smal brown head. Aroma of bourbon and lightly rosted coffee. Smooth mouthfeel with light porter tartness. Taste of red berries, chocolate liqoure and cacao powder.

Bottle at Man in the Moon, Stockholm. It pours jet black, with a thick, rocky tan head. The nose is rich chocolate, roasted malt, toasted coconut, blackcurrant jam, hint of balsamic vinegar, oak, roast and salted caramel. The taste is rich espresso coffee, strong oak flavour, dry, roasted malt, slight acidity, dark fruit/berry, soy sauce/balsamic, and bitter, chocolate, with a dry, woody finish. Full body and fine carbonation. Flavoursome and well balanced. Another great Imperial stout from Närke!

Bottle. A huge thank you to my friend in the "cool" cat t-shirt. Joan Jett black pour with a dark mocha colored head. Classic StormaktsPorter fudge and caramel aromas with boozy Cognac highlights. Nice lacing. Fantastic body and mouthfeel. Smooth warm boozy overtones with sublime chocolate, fudge, and carmel notes with undercurrents of dark roasted malts and expresso. Wonderful balance with enough bitterness from the roasted malts to offset the sweet chocolate/fudge/caramel characteristics. Another gem from the crew at Narke.... Earlier Rating: 9/30/2011 Total Score: 4.4 Bottle shared with the District posse. Joan Jett black pour with a mocha head. The nose is fabulous with that classic Stormakporter fudge and undercurrent of oak, dark roasted malts and caramel. Bold dark roasted malts, fudge, vanilla, all kinds of wood, and brewer’s licorice notes. Just another insanely awesome beer from the Swedish master’s that I was lucky enough to try..............
