Draught. Poured red brown with very little head. Aroma was unfamiliar at first and then it struck me, sea water and wet rope. Flavour of syrup and dagga, rather more sweetness than is decent in a beer. Almost syrupy body. More hemp and a tiny bit of malt in the finish. The beer was not as good as my rating, but I give Caldera credit for trying something new.

(Canned, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Black colour with pale brown, frothy head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of chocolate, coffee and hints of spruce needles. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate and caffe latte. Smooth and creamy with a nice coffee bitterness in the finish. Well made and nicely balanced, but doesn’t really stand out. Nice beer though.
