Born from an expanded-Gose-idea and the fact that some versions of the Imperial Stout already have a liquorice note, the Salzstout takes this to its logical conclusion: salt, liquorice, roast and toffee. And a comfortable 12.5% Abv.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer & Whisky Festival, 9 Sep 2023) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted, vinous nose with espresso, cacao and liquorice. Malty, roasted taste with notes of salty liquorice, espresso, dark chocolate and a vinous finish with a mild roasty bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Rich, boozy and tasty, but a bit unbalanced and vinous. Quite nice. (Labeled Ångkvarn/Smedsbo Salzstout 14.4% at Ångkvarn's stand, I guess it's the same beer.)

Sample (thanks omhper!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, some nutty, salty and mild chocolaty tones with some smoked wet wooden tones. Flavour is buttery, chocolaty, nutty, salty and mild roasted tones with some alcohol sweetness. Brutal but, quite cool.

--Bottled, from Systembolaget. -- Near black, no head. Aroma of raisins and salted caramel. Very sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Salted coffee, caramel and dextrose. Warming caramelly finish. Too much sticky caramel.
