Bottled (2000 vintage) at Man in the Moon, Stockholm. Clear dark ruby, no head. Aroma of ripe fruit, dusty hops and somethig spicy that I associate with tobacco. Medium sweet with lots of caramel and traces of beginning oxidation. Gentle rounded mouthfeel, this odd spicy flavour dominates until bittering hops takes over in the finish.

330ml bottle from Trafalgar Wines, Brighton. Crystal clear russet colour until the yeast was poured in and made it cloudy russet. Lasting tight beige head. Very toasty, fruity malty aroma. Very toasty in mouth, richness and depth. Depth has a vinous nature to it and then this toasted breadiness takes over. A bit like strawberry jam on golden brown white toast but no butter. Hugely drinkable even in the bath, reading a book on Kent pub signs. Oh dear, I fear I may have lost some of my readership with that image.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 24 Feb 2007) Dark brown, amberish colour with frothy off-white head. Malty, bready nose with distinct notes of ryvita. Malty taste with notes of dark bread, ryvita and a hint of brown sugar. Light notes of hops in the finish, but mainly robustly malty. Well-made and fresh.

On tap at Horsens beerfestival. Hazy reddish body with a small beige head. Discrete caramel malt aroma. Flavor is sweet, caramel and pretty one dimensional. Some alcohol in finish.

330 ml bottle. Pale body with a white head. Discreet aroma. Rather thin malty, and a bit harsh bitter flavor, also a hint of alcohol. Not particular harmonic IMO.

330 ml bottle. Golden, clear body with a white head. Discreet aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty, some hops, and some caramel. Nothing really wrong here, but not exactly my type of beer. A bit boring.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 2 Feb 2007) Golden amber colour with huge, lasting, white head leaving lots of lacing. Initially malty nose with notes of gooseberries and lots of dusty hops. Malty taste with notes of citrus, hay, white bread, toffee and lots of grassy hops (Saaz?) in a rather dry finish. Nice and malty pilsener with a lovely hoppy undertone.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Lightly hazy golden, rich head. Powerful flowery grassy hoppy nose. dry with crisp pilsnerish malt, only ramped up in size. Lingering very bitter finish. Almost bordering to become inky. More of an "imperial pilsener" than anything else I’ve tried.
