Stop using clear bottles! Huge skunk aroma right off the bat, that eventually goes away after about 10 minutes. Buttery, sweet caramel malt aroma. Light hops, but its pretty unremarkable. The finish is again, sweet and buttery, typical for this brewery. This was pretty much on par with their regular oak aged offering, with a touch more grassy hops.

Backlog, had this in June, 2013 when newly delivered to the swedish liquor monopoly. Bottle, pours copper clear with a minimun white foam. Aroma is butter, caramell, candy, bread, some oak. Taste is kind of weird, starting sweet and spicy, some wood and caramell, medium bitter. Body is medium, carbo is soft, very oily texture. This is not a favourite brewery, albeit this works (barely).

330 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a small off-white head. Light aroma of malt and caramel. Flavor is sweet malty, some caramel, a hint of spices and low bitterness. Medium body and aftertaste. Drinkable but not very exciting.

Draft - Honey sweet and a bit of raw oak. Clear gold and a rich white head. Honey and oak. Not good, not sure why people like it.
