Bottled (BB 06/2007)
Hazy dark amber color, small off-white head. Strong aroma of ... glue. It’s kind of fruity and sweet but it really smells like glue. Quite full-bodied. Sticky, grassy sweet fruity flavor. Dried prunes, apricot, banana and mango. Crisp carbonation. Not really pleasant and not easy to drink, aftertaste is better, nice fruity flavor. Sigtuna’s beers are always on or off.

Bottled (thanks omhper). Hazy nutbrown colour with mediumsized beige head, some lace. Aroma is alcohol, toffee and some other stuff in a very gluelike mix. Flavour is caramel malts, some fruityness, nuts and mildlly burning alcohol. Aftertaste is fruity hops, grass and some yeastyness.

Draught at Glennfiddish Warehouse, Stockholm
Dark reddish brown with a slight haze. Head looked ok. Slightly sour, yeasty aroma. Flavour is somewhat sour as well (infected?) with a nice, somewhat alcoholic and warming bitterness.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a lazing thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wheat and yeast as well as a touch of spices, the flavor is quite sweet again with strong notes of yeast and medium notes of spices and wheat.

Bottle at RBESG 2007. Fairly good. Bit minty on the end which I found odd but not off putting. Nice malts. Good beer.

Bottle, 8.0%. Toffee coloured, quite hazy. Very small white head. The flavour is a little citric in OK balance with malt. Quite drinkable, but not very clean.

Bottle 63 cl Courtesy of omhper. Hazy, dark amber golden with an off-white head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and some yeast. Rather full-bodied with lots of roasted malt, yeast, phenols - and a vague underlying tartness. The finish is rich in alcohol and fairly bitter. 130507
Bottle 33 cl. According to the label brewed in 2007 and bottled in September 2008. Pours a lightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Distinct yeast and phenols in the nose. Full-bodied, caramel, fruit and Belgian yeast notes. Has a vague underlying tartness and some warming alcohol in the finish. 6/3/6/3/13=3.1 090110

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Lightly hazy reddish golden, small creamy head. Aroma of citrus, aniseed and other spices. Sweet, fruity and, surprisingly, rather smokey. Full bodied with soft mouthfeel. Some almondy yeast character and peppery alcohol. Rather complex. A fun, odd beer.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm) Golden amber colour, slightly hazy, with firm white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of clove. Fruity, spicy taste with notes of clove and caramel, slightly sweet with spicy hops in the finish. Rather uncomplicated but still very nice.

150ml on tap at Belgobaren in Stockholm (Yuletide and winter beer festival). Clear amber body with hints of rosiness. Loose head, but nice laceworks. Aromatic oranges supported by apples. Spicy taste with notes of caramel, figs and an yeasty touch towards the end. Not bad for a Swedish made Belgian beer (03.12.2006).
