Cask@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Amber colour, small beige head, leaving nice lace. Aroma is sweet malts, caramel, fruits and nectar. Flavour is caramel malts, nectar, mild alcohol and grass. Also some sugary and a bit fruity notes. Very good real ale. Had on Feb 26th, and back at Oliver Twist on Mar 1st to have a few US beers. Afterwards I ended up with a few more pints of this. Just lovely!

Cask Conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm
Hazy dark amber color with red hue, small head. A mild, shy Barley Wine (?), with sweetish caramel, ordinary bitterness, soft mouthfeel, but also a light, suspicious sourness in the end; probably the beer is not fresh; some alcohol feeling too. I’m not impressed.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 24 Jan 2009) Dark amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, caramel and toffee. Malty taste twith notes of dried fruit, caramel and some earthy hops in the finish. Medium to full body, too sweet. The hops are overshadowed by sweet malt. Tasty and warming, but too much sweetness makes it a bit unbalanced.
