Bottle from a beer of the month club. Poured a clear dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma was weak with some roasted malts. Flavor seemed to be quite watery. I picked up some sweet roasted malts, but not much else.

Yet another very cool brew courtesy of markwise. The funky little bottle pours out copper with gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma is full English barleywine with cherries, raisins, dates, prunes and ripe plums mixing with mild sweet sugary malts. The taste quickly takes on a blended and smooth dark fruitiness with all the usual suspects like prunes, cherries, plums, raisins and figs. I also get modest amounts of sweet malts underneath creating some added interest to the flavor. Tasty stuff.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a small brown head. The aroma was tangy, sour and malty with a touch of fruity hops. The flavor was tangy cherries, light molasses and a hint of anise. The finish was short tangy anise. Medium body. Ok.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark nut brown color with a small khaki head. The aroma was somewhat faint dry, nutty malts with traces of banana and clove. The flavor was tart, tangy and a little bitter with light banana, clove and bubblegum. Medium length finish that turns a bit dry. Medium full body. Decent.

Bottle. Pours amber with a slight white head. Lightly bready aroma. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel, but there is a good amount of grassy bitter to tamp down the sweet. Better than a macro lager.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours opaque brown/black. Half-finger tan head that left quickly. Aroma of ancient raspberries. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is very raspberry, accompanied by chocolate. As time goes by, it actually tastes much like a raspberry chocolate truffle - though bitter, not sweet. Finishes in a good way that I can’t begin to describe. Sort of vinous, a bit sour. Ok. I can begin. Wow, if this is 4 years old. Or if it isn’t! Buy one before they go away.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Black, small beige head. Lightly roasty. Thecocoa and raspberry shows up early. Medium bodied withclean, rounded mouthfeel. Juicy raspberry meets coffee. Dry, slightly citric notes of berries. Fairly low bitterness. A well balanced yet unusual beer staying wel outside of the mainstream (no bourbon barel in sight here!). After the initial confusion I start to really like this!
