I had the 2001 'vintage', it probably would have developed its character if it had been cellared a few years like the brewery recommends, but as I personally have an extremely weak character, I was unable to wait! Even as fresh as this Carnegie is a fine porter. It may be tiresome repeating that porters have coffee-like qualities - actually, a good porter like this one has a lot better flavour than any cup of coffee! The aftertaste is moreish, this is definitely a beer I'll buy again. Good to experience that Pripps are able to brew something far better than their shitty lagers. Same recipe since 1836, great! Now if I just could find someone with an iron will and a huge padlock who would cellar a few bottles for me...

Looks like morning-urine, smells like corn and taste like....well, it doesn't taste much at all.

Golden coloured. Dusty aroma. Very thin, very sweet, watery. Bland and unclean with almost no bitterness.

Pale yellow chemical swill. No malt or hops to be found, just this little nice garbage-and-plastic aroma. Another lovely full flavoured Pripps production.

Pale golden. Corn aroma. Clean, not much flavour, medium sweet, medium bodied, not much bitterness. Not much fun.

This beer is pretty much described by it's name. I mean, if a beers main feature is that it is cold (if you chill it), you really can't expect too much, can you? It is golden coloured, has nearly no aroma, light body (read 'thin'), and not even the most trained dog could find a trace of hop in there. This beer is b-l-a-n-d, cold or not.

Amber coloured. Overly sweet. The nose is dominated by boiled vegetables and old syrup. Unclean malt profile, very little hop presence. This is not a masterpiece...

Golden coloured. A Dortmunder style lager. The taste is round and rather clean. Not much bitterness, but a bit more malt, which I guess is pretty much what a Dortmunder should be like. Perhaps too sweet for my liking.

I got this in a 4,7% version in Norway some years ago. According to other reviewers, the slightly increased alcohol hasn't helped much. Are the Swedes as unsuccessful with beer as they are in the Winter Olympics?
