On tap at Haket, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has medium roasted malt and light cola. Flavour has medium roast, a little cola, and some residual sugars. Not a particularly complex or deep malt character, but it’s put together reasonably well. Solid.

10 November 2023. At Billie's Craft Beer Fest. Thanks to tderoeck for sharing today's beers - cheers to so many more!

Hazy black. Candied cherry, marzipan, mulled wine, clove, liquorice. Sweet dark honey, cherry, dried fruits. Peppery hops, spices, warming liqueur-like alcohol. Oily texture. Lacks some wholeness as a Stout, but interesting for sure.

Swedish ‘impy’ containing honey, tasted as a one year old vintage at Billie’s Craft Beer Fest 2023. Medium thick, mocha-beige, opening head on a black beer with mahogany glow. Aroma of black coffee, soy sauce, smoked mackerel somewhere, cigar tobacco, aquavit more than bourbon, black tea, dry caramel, toast, shoe polish, tar. Sweet dried fig and blackberry jam in the onset but tempered by soft porcini-like umami, softishly carbonated with full oily body; bitter-chocolatey, toasty, burnt-nutty middle with again those smoky and solventy notes coming up along with a ‘floweriness’ possibly linked to it – and almost certainly linked to the honey that was used. Long toasty and peppery-hoppy bitter finish with somewhat wry, wodka-like alcohol and lingering solvent effects. A tad crude and overly solventy to be truly great in this prestigious genre, in my opinion.

MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: oxidized, malty, grains, lots of white raisins, some dried figs, a little bitter, good roast, hint of coffee, spicy, some black liquorice, sugary, caramel, cloves, alcohol, meh.

Notater fra en aldeles utmerket kveld på Våland, i lag med Egil, Johan, Camilla, Marianne og Fia. 0,33 flaske fra Statens Seruminstitutt avd. Kvaddå: viskøs utskjenking, brunsvart og nesten uten skum, men med fint heng på glasset. Kompleks aroima og stor dybde i smaken - feit, ørk sjojokaldekake, marinerete svisker og andre syndige godsaker, pluss et hint av tobakk. Lang og saliggjørende avslutning. En av kveldens beste.
