(50 cl bottle at Café 3 Små Rum, Göteborg)On May 9, 2008Clear dark copper color, white head. Swet and spicy scent, sugary and malty. Thin and slight acidic malty and sugary sweet taste, a bit roasted. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness. A bit flat. I did expect much, but in the end found this mostly boring.

Bottle: Clear, amber coloured, smaller, slowly collapsing off-white head; delicate (dark-)malty aroma with a fruity-nutty touch; solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; a shy nutty fruitiness shows up in the bitter-sweet finish. Pleasant, tasty, unspectacular.........

Bottled (thanks GarethYoung). Dark rubyish amber colour with big beige creamy head, leaves a lot of lace. Aroma is malts, hops and slight caramel. Flavour is roasted malts, caramel and flowery hops. Slight leathery and oaky hints in aftertaste, along with roasted malts and hops.
