Packed full of dark crystal malts this brew takes on a rich amber colour. A bouquet of caramel, amber malts and sweet berries give way to a palate of biscuit malts, woody & fruity hops that deliver a medium dry finish. This brew performs superbly cask conditioned as well as in bottle.
Malts: Ale Malt, Malted Wheat, Oats, Vienna Malt, Dark Crystal

Bottle from Nelson Wines. It pours cloudy red-amber, with a thin off-white head. The nose is very sweet: candy floss, caramel, sweet strawberry and raspberry and earth. The taste is wood, earth, metal (due to carbonation), leather, caramel, lemon and grass, with a dry finish. Medium body and harsh carbonation. Not great.

(Bottle, Bihsop’s Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm, 21 Apr 2011) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, red berries and orange peel. Malty, fruity taste with notes of red fruit, caramel, orange and a mild spicy bitterness in a fairly short finish. Rather light body, fairly sweet. Nice and tasty.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Deep amber beer. Rich and malty but also with a sweet note. Dry bitterish finish. Not bad.
