(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of toffee, chocolate and toasty grain. Malty, fruity taste with toffee, chocolate and generous doses of citrussy hops in a bitter finish. More than medium body, balanced sweetness. Tasty citrussy hop character backed up by a solid caramel/chocolate malt body gives this beer a brilliant balance. Lovely beer!

12oz bottle pours clear garnet with a teased up lasting light tan head. The aroma is full of that citrusy spicy near earthy cascade hoppiness to go along with some roasted malts and a touch of cherry fruit like esters. The taste stings first with orange peel and tangelo citrus hop bitterness rounded out with a tingle of spice and then sweeter with malts, a touch of toffee and hints of late addition to the boil hop flavor. Toward the finish the hops become more bitter along with the roast becoming a bit astringent creating a somewhat dry and refreshing finish. The citrus hop and spice hop bitterness linger for a while. Nice tasting brew. Listed here as a Brown. It is far from a brown.

Draught. Delicious but it’s hard to tell how to categorise this. Hoppy aroma like an IPA. Colour like a pub brown, say Newcastle Brown, flavour lekker, but like nothing else. Much roast, ’n bietjie hop. With a very hoppy lingering finish

Beautiful copper color, hazy. Luscious caramel and toffee aroma, with sweet nuts, a hint of citrus fruits. Smooth mouthfeel, rich caramel flavor; strong hopping, with a balanced mix of bitter oranges and resins. Excellent.

bottle - Pours a murky brown color with a very thin head. It has a rich aroma of caramel malt with hints of dark fruit and spices. The flavor is sweet and spicy with some mild hops in the finish. It’s medium bodied and did seem a little watery even as it warmed. Still it was a tasty, enjoyable brew.

Bottled. A very dark red beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has strong notes of alcohol and oatmeal, as well as medium notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt, oatmeal, soy sauces, and alcohol, leading to a bitter, roasted, oatmeal finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
