Storage was not good for this beer. Quite oxidized. Not any myrtle either. Still a fine balanced dried fruit flavor. And some spices. So it was absolutely drinkable. Looks great, and a very well masked alcohol.

Awesome story-beer. this collaborzted ale was actually brewed according to recipe’s found in ancient Swedish graves. can’t get more traditioneel than that ! Apparently, beerrecipe’s used to be taken to the Grave in these day’s, litteraly ! Pours unclear Brown. Small White head. Smell is very spiced, bit sweet, bit oxidized almost. Taste is intense, metallic, spices, oxidized, cola-like sweet, syrupy character, but not as fabricated. A LOT of spices. Not bad. Very fun to try a beer like this, but i like modern beers better i think .

Flaska från SB. Gyllenfärgad, lågt skum, syrlig och nästan saftig med väldigt väl dolda 10%. Känns nästan tunn. Söta smaker av honung med lite vax, sav och syrliga lingon. Lite syrlig mjödstuk, men inte riktigt en bra öl.
