A dark rich full bodied ale, a distinctive finish of roast malt and chocolate with a hint of spice. Robust and satisfying.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is faint, but has light notes of smoke and caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel as well as lighter notes of burnt malt, wood, and spices, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Chestnut brown. Very nutty, fruity and robustly malty. Notes of apple and caramel. Balanced sweetness and good solid bitterness. Feels bigger than 4.8% - must be a big stocking.
