12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear nut brown with minimal head. Aroma of caramel, dried fruit and toffee. Taste is medium sweet. Caramel and toffee with a hint of red berries. Medium bodied with a oily yet somewhat sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long, warming finish. Overall, pretty good. Id drink it again.

Taste is light sweet and light bitter with notes of bread, dark fruit and light chocolate. Medium to full bodied with low to medium carbonation. Balanced beer, really good.

7 Feb in my room at The Fishermans Wharf Sheraton in San Fransisco, picked from some all night store round the corner. This beer is wonderful, even out of a plastic beaker! Deep brown body with a creamy biege head. The nose is malty sweet: roasted/toasted caramel, red berries, toffee and trees. The taste is a lovely sweet malty molasses mix: too sweet for some maybe, but not for me, I loved it. The body is rich and full, the alcohol just about noticeable within the flavours. A true classic.

Sample at a tasting at Systembolaget, February 2013. Clear reddish/brown with a white head. Sweet aroma and taste of dried fruit, toffee, malt and some light spices. Nice full body and some warming alcohol. Not a bad one.

On tap at Abner’s. Pours a clear brown with agray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of sweet dark grains, sweet bread with a touch of chocolate and light fruit. Flavor is similar with sweet bread and sweet dark grains upfront with a hint of sweet chocolate in the finish.

330 mL bottle. Pours black, like cola, with a very thin, off-white head that disappears quickly. Notes of dark fruits, caramel, milk chocolate, and black bread. Very sweet up front, with very faint bitterness toward the finish. Medium to heavy body, velvety, smooth, and clean. Overall, this is a malty, delicious beer.

Bottled 330ml. -from Billa Kiev, Ukraine. Brown coloured, medium sized pale beige head, dry malty nutty nose (not so pleasant actually). Sweet malty, caramel and strong dried fruits presence with not so strong alcohol notes. Sweet sticky finish. Bad batch or I just didn’t like it.
