Very dark brown colour. Toasty, slightly nutty aroma. Slightly creamy body. Flavour of mild milk chocolate and cappucino foam. Kind of watery in the finish.

The nose is flowery, fruity but too faint. The color is amber and the head is small. The mouthfeel is very soft, and the flavor is fruity with notes of black currant and other berries. It is slightly prickling. All in all a really good beer.

[Bottled] The aroma is very sweet from a good maltblend - much like Sam Adams Boston Ale. The appearance is a light red very bubbly beer with a small bubbly head - that disappears prematurely. The flavor is malty and sweet with strong orange notes and ending on a good bitterness. Which all in all makes it a very refreshing ale.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Amber colour. Interesting candyish aroma with notes of flowers, oranges and licorice. Rather sweet and very light bodied. Delightfully drinkable, but the finish is slightly empty and metallic, and all the aromatic hoppiness in the nose has diminished to a vague hint of resin. Not exactly an Imperial IPA...

Chestnut colour, all clear. Slight head, yellowish, irregular. Nose of brown gingerbread, pudding, vanilla. Sweet taste, malty upbuild, surrounded by roasted-bitter maltbite. Almondy flavour, perfumey. Medium-bodied. More almondy sweetness in the aftertaste. The overly perfumed character gets annoying after some time, like an unrefined brandy.
