Cask @ GBBF 2014. Smooth fresh beginning. Nice malty ale character with a nice undertone of floral earthy hops. Hints of pine and wood. The aftertaste is smooth, not too bitter, dry-malty with a floral hint. Nice!

Draught @ Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours clear dark amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of yeast, bread, and malt, with notes of hops and a little touch of fruit. Dusty, faint flavour of malt, with notes of hops and a very subtle touch of dried fruit. Very low carbonation. Not bad, I could actually quaff a few pints of it if I was asked to.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 30 Apr 2014) Mahogany colour with foamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of nuts, dark fruit and chocolate. Malty taste with nuts, dark fruit, caramel and slightly dusty hop in a finish with a decent bitterness. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Well balanced and tasty. Quite nice.
