(Draught, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep) Dark brown colour, slightly hazy, small off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of berries (blueberries) and a spicy character of bog myrtle. Malty taste with chocolate and dark fruit. Initial sweetness gives away for a drier finish with a distinct spicy taste of bog myrtle (leaning a bit towards wormwood in taste, but slightly sweeter). Interesting and tasty.

Dark brown, tanned head. Smoke and tar in the nose. Roasted, smokey but quite thin. Basicly tastes same beer than Byggver’s Birger Jarl without spices.

Hazy dark nut brown, small brownish head. Spicey and smokey nose, maybe cloves (later note: must be a bog myrtle). Spicey, sweetish, christmas beer like brew. Tar and smoke in the flavor. A bit thin, but otherwise quite interesting "ancient" brew.

Bottled. Very dark brown, coarse head. Appley smokey aroma. The bog myrtle is hidden behind a wealth of appley fruityness and smoke making it surprisingly similar to a Gotlandsdricke. It has medium body and soft mouthfeel as well as herbal bitterness in the finish. This beer feels very medieval, and it would be made great justice served from ceramic mugs at a medieval restaurant.

Bottled. Very dark brown, rich head. Aroma of licorice and lemon. Roasty, really salty and lightly smokey. Dryish with light body and notes of raisin. This beer is not only interesting because of the effort to revive a medieval beer style, it is also an enjoyable drink.
