Knäck is a delightful dark mild inspired by the Swedish Christmas treat of the same name. It’s bold and inviting, with a delicate white head of tight foam and carries a rich malty soul, giving notes of hard toffee and roasted nuts.

500ml Bottle - Dark brown with orange tinges. Chocolate, caramel and berries in the aroma. Slightly earthy taste with coffee, nuts and some slightly toasted and roasted notes. Not bad, but not much toffee and therefore not much like knäck.

Bottled 500ml (KSM Kampus)
Brown colour, small off-white head. Aroma is strangly ashy, light maltyness. Light-bodied. Toastyness, ash, malts, not much toffee found here. Quite different than its description.
