Pours deeep and dark, yet clear redbrown. Ok white head. Smell is very oxidized. Taste is complex, Woody,almost. Very much walnuts, complex and balanced oxidation. Not really port, pointing out the beer wan’t all too sweet to begin with. Very full, Rich, some dark fruits. I’m sure it’s over the top, but it’s still much more interedting thzn most other vintage beers i tried so far. Unexpectingly impressive.!

Draught@Akkurat (thanks for sharing rlgk!). Hazy deep orange/ambery colour with creamy beigeish head. Aroma is dark dry fruits, quite sour wood, some bittery fruits and slight yeast. Flavour is the same along with nuts, earth and some real sourness.

Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm. A slightly hazy orange-amber beer with a thick yellowish head. The aroma is sweet with powerful notes of fruit - especially peaches, but also with notes of spices and flowery hops. The flavor is sweet malty with powerful notes of fruit - both fresh and over ripe - peaches and prunes as well as notes of spices, flowery hops, toffee, and bisquits, the hops adding to a dry finish. The body is quite powerful with the alcohol tickling the tongue.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is dark amber to brown, hints of copper. Firm head. Complex nose with malt and dried fruit (figs, raisins, prunes, apricots), after a while a hint of toffe and chocolate, and still later a hint of smoke (?). Taste is fruity, sweet with earthy hints of yeast and a well hopped bitter finish. This is a good, tasty and very complex beer, but rather unfocused (not sure if that is a bad thing here). Be careful, it doesn’t taste 9,0% abv.

Cloudy amber color; very nice creamy head. Malty aroma, with some fruitness. Full body, malty, yeast fruitness, old hops, some sweetness and strong bitterness. Excellent.

Draught at Akkurat. Hazy amber, firm head. Salty apricot aroma. Sweet with obvious almond character, notes of spun sugar, ried fruits and cookie malt. Full bodied and full flavoured with some warming alcohol and lots of spicy hops. A complex beer with a lot going on.
