On one side we’ve got a rich, full flavor with hints of chocolate and dried fruits. On the other side we’ve got a smooth bitterness from just the right amount of hops. Together, they bring perfect balance. Enjoy!
This beer has a similar story to that of Easter Porter. When we could, because of the seasonal requirements at the Swedish monopoly, we wanted to make and highlight a beer style that we love but which does not get much love. Dark Lager is such a style. Why this beer style is so forgotten in the modern beer community we do not know. High in complexity, taste and drinkability while also being really easy to pair with food (it goes with almost anything) it's the perfect beer for nearly every occasion. This time, easter had to do. For other times we have our Mörk Lager.
