33 cl bottle from the order by bottle segment at Systembolaget. BB 2017-03-16, sampled on December 21, 2016.Pitch black color, fairly large lasting to the creamy side tan to light brown head that leave lacing on the glass. Malty, fruity, light roasted, a bit laid back but nice scent. Roasted, bitter, some rubber phenoles, mineral taste. Pith, bitter, husky, harsh aftertaste. Lasting lingering harsh bitterness. Medium a bit low CO2 mouthfel, medium high bitterness. Also some rubber phenolic aftertaste.Unbalanced and a slight bit unclean with the phenoles. Also overdone bitterness that with the dry and harsh husky parts feels a bit flawed. Difficult for me to really drink it.
