Bottle at Haket, Göteborg pours dark reddish with thin creamy off white head. Aroma is caramel, grains, malts, fresh fruits. Taste, cherry, raisins add for a light wine like mouthfeel, smooth and easy to drink, finish with a light touch of tartness.

50cl bottle at home. quite brown, large light brown smooth head.mild flavor of roasted malts, faint liqueur, faint mild sweetish chocolate’ish aroma too. dry, roasted grains, lots of flavor for a "low" alc, faint charchoal, other flavors (licorice amongst them) blended in so well i can’t really discern them. but it makes the overall experience balanced and solid. Really like the flavor.

Bottled(500ml). -Black coloured, medium sized brown head, light vinous nose. Dry roasted malt, chocolate and licorice taste with notes of smoke and port wine. Smooth. Bitter roasty finish and aftertaste. Decent stout.

Pours a dark black with a nice, thick, creamy head. Coffee flavors, with a hint of port. Just the right combination of sweetness and bitter. One of my favorite stouts.

Bottle: Poured a clear black color stout with a good size foamy head with good retention and good lacing. Aroma of dry roasted malt notes with some subtle notes of port. Taste is also an average mix between some dry roasted malt notes and some sweet port notes. Body is a bit too thin for the style in my opinion with some good carbonation. I guess this is OK but not something I would necessarily seek again.
