(Draft at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 17 Oct 2025) Dark brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, slightly vinous nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit, raisins, dates, a touch of wood and dark bread. Malty, slightly vinous taste with caramel, dark bread, dried fruit, raisins, figs and a mild herbal bitterness in a warming finish. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and warming, with a mellow boozy touch. Very nice.

Can @ home. Clear, deep amber body under a small beige head that disappears quickly. Aroma has malt, caramel, bread, dry fruit and some alcohol. Taste is sweet and malty with dry fruit, toffee, warming alcohols and low bitterness. Fine body with long lasting, sweet malty aftertaste. Quite straight forward but really well made and really delicious.

Can. A mostly unclear one, brown, with a finger thick beige head. Quite alcoholic aroma, with roasted malts, dark dried fruit, caramel, booze and a herbal hint. It's full bodied and warming, sort of boozy, with a decent carbonation. Sweet, yet with a good bitterness. Alcohol, booze, herbs and a good dash of caramel, prunes and raisin. Some coffee and roasted malts. Lasting sweet and malty finish. Delicious indeed. Warming, sweet and full bodied. 230723
