Draft at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. An unclear dark amber beer with a huge tan head. The aroma is very citrusy combined with light notes of smoke and flowers. The flavor is sweet with a burnt edge that gives the beer hints of plastic and acidity - I guess some kind of infection.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007) Labeled 5.2%. Shady brown color, fluffy tan head. Fruity hoppy and "Myrica gale" scent. Fruity and hoppy taste. Rather thin mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

Draught. Sourish aroma, a little smoked. The flavour is malty and smoked with a bit of sewer. Low carbonation.

(Draught, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep) Dark brown colour, slightly hazy, small off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of berries (blueberries) and a spicy character of bog myrtle. Malty taste with chocolate and dark fruit. Initial sweetness gives away for a drier finish with a distinct spicy taste of bog myrtle (leaning a bit towards wormwood in taste, but slightly sweeter). Interesting and tasty.

Hazy dark nut brown, small brownish head. Spicey and smokey nose, maybe cloves (later note: must be a bog myrtle). Spicey, sweetish, christmas beer like brew. Tar and smoke in the flavor. A bit thin, but otherwise quite interesting "ancient" brew.

Bottled. Dark amber colour, mediumsized brown head. Smoky/roasted hops in aroma. Sweetish bitter flavour with roasted hints. Also hints of tar and caramel. Good balance.

Bottled. Very dark brown, coarse head. Appley smokey aroma. The bog myrtle is hidden behind a wealth of appley fruityness and smoke making it surprisingly similar to a Gotlandsdricke. It has medium body and soft mouthfeel as well as herbal bitterness in the finish. This beer feels very medieval, and it would be made great justice served from ceramic mugs at a medieval restaurant.
