Bottle from Systembolaget. Nice stout like apperance in the glass. Some interesting flavours that give it quite the depth for the abv. I prefer my milds even more watery to be honest, this one, the burnt wintery notes were a litle too proncouned. Drank alongside julmust, probably problematic.

Flaska från SB. Riktigt mörkt brun med medelhögt krämigt beige skum. Rostade aromer med choklad. Mjuk len, torr och med en rejäl kropp för sina 4.2% En mörk tolkning av stilen eller snudd på avsteg från den men riktigt väl genomfört. Drickvänlig och smakrik utan att krångla till den med mycket rostad malt och snäll beska. Perfekt till en grillade hamburgare. Gott

500ml Bottle - Very dark brown, almost black. Roasted malt, ashtray, blackcurrant and coffee in the aroma. Roasted and slightly smoky and burnt taste with notes of coffee, blackcurrant and vanilla detected. The burnt notes are a bit too prominent for my liking and that slightly detracts from what is a decent beer.

Dark brown, almost black, small but lasting tan head. Aroma is very nice, milk chocolate, brown sugar and coffee. Taste sweet milk chocolate and caramel in start that carries it to a more roasted dry finish. Also some low roasted acidity is present. light to medium bodied.
