Bottle pours a clear light mahogany with very little head and only spotty lacing. Very nice aroma of sweet malts and citrusy hops and fruits like apples, mangos, pears etc. Flavor is a bit of wet cardboard and lightly hopped. Basic straight forawar flavors and a nice full feel Very litel lingering bitterness. Nice

Sweet in aroma and in flavor. The nose is malty - breads, caramel and wood. Taste filled with sweet fruits and spice, toffee and candy and then some roast and a bitter finish. Medium body and rich tasting. Nice seasonal ale.

As promised, this stout poured obsidian black with a short tan head. Strong aroma of dark chocolate and roasted to burnt malts. Flavor is sweet at first with the malts dominating — chocolate, caramel, latte. The dry, bitter finish takes over at the back of the mouth. Overall, an ejoyable, dry stout.

[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of chocolate, while the flavor is weirdly sweet - slightly perfumated, but also with notes of peach and roasted malt. The roastiness gives it a dry end.

Hazy golden color, small white head, some lace. Flowery Cascade hoppy, quite intensive for APA. Medium-bodied. More malty and sweet side in the flavor than hoppy. Some fruityness, finishing watery and sweet.

Dark ruby, small cappuchino head. A bit sweetish, light roast plus yeast in the nose. Not very typical Porter. Chocolaty, cold coffee flavor, a bit sweet, not very intensive flavor. Basic, good drinkable "session porter".
