33cl bottle. Dark brown color with a thin off white head. Rye bread, menthol, aniseed in aroma. Strongly hopped. Menthol, herbal flavors with some rye and anise as well. Gets boozy as it warms up. Quite nice sipper, but recommended to enjoy cold.

A murky, reddish brown beer, a head is small and beige. Aroma has richness of malts, riped fruits, plums, some caramel, rye and herbs. Taste is rich, riped fruits, nice sweetness, no alcohol. After the beginning, strong and herbal bitterness. Full bodied, low carbonation. Not so complex as could be, even now when fresh bottle. A bottle to cellar for aging. Edit 24.3.2020, bottle bfe 01/2018, so maybe about 4 years old now? Nicely balanced, also smooth but still strongly characteric. Great beer, points could be changed easily 36 -> 40. Edit 09.02.2026, bottle PE 070123, age? Smooth, ryebread in the end. Very good. Now I have to update the points 36 -> 41.

Bottle (Alko). Dark amber color, small off-white head. Aroma has toffee, some bread, overriped fruits and strawberries. Medium-bodied. Salty licorice, hops, strawberries, alcohol. Quite bitter with long long aftertaste. Interesting. Demanding.
