5.2% ABV Bottle: BBD 28 Sep 2013, poured into a UK pint sleeve some 6 days after that date. Looks lovely, a true amber hue to it’s body: the crown a full, deep blanket of off-white foam. Malty and fruity nose, those aromas carry on into the taste nicely. Semi-sweet and full of malty molasses that sweep the hop content under the surface throughout the pint, toffee, caramel and biscuity notes fill your senses and I actually enjoyed it more than the cask version, which is very unusual for me.

500 ml can. Clear deep golden body with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is moderate fruity with malt, pretty straight forward. Flavor is as expected from aroma mild malt and some fruitiness, moderate bitterness. A rather uninspired bitter, drinkable but frankly not far away from a lager in flavor.

Small white head. Clear amber body. Earthy vinous aroma with spicy grainy notes. Dry fruity earthy spicy taste with floral grainy notes. Mid-to-light body. Mild, soft, flat mouthfeel. Dryish earthy spicy fruity aftertaste with honey and vaguely funky notes. Interesting and unusual, but not that good. (0.568l cask at John Scott’s Pub, Göteborg.)
