(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Amber colour with frothy off-white head. Fruity and nutty nose with notes of toffee, orange and apricots. Fruity, hoppy taste with orange, grapefruit and a nice dash of hops in the finish. A bit sweet. The low abv and the great hop flavour makes this quite enjoyable.

Bottle. A wood smoke, chocolate malt and alcohol aroma - initially had a medicinal smell but that faded as it warmed - had it too cold. Midnight black with small film of a head. Smokey dark chocolate flavor with moderate hops throughout. Nice full-bodied beer - well balanced.

Big white creamy head over clear golden body. Clear, golden deep hop aroma of tropical flowers, fruit, metal, and a touch of smoke. Taste is again flowers and fruit with lots more of the smoke. Quite bitter. Dry, hoppy, metallic aftertaste. Very nice! (0.5l bottle.)

Bottle. Bright amber color with a good white head and moderate condition. Low citrus hop aromas, some sweet malt in the mouth with good level of resinous hop flavour and a relatively long hop bitter finish.

Pale golden in colour with only a low level (ring) of foam This is a very well built beer that starts with a delicate hoppy and fresh floral aroma. The flavour is fruity, first you notice the grapefruit and then a good dash of lemon comes through. At the end there is a rounded taste of bitter hops. Easy drinkable and very moreish (Half on gravity in perfect condition at the firste day of The 11th St Albans Beer Festival 27.09.2006).

Deep black with a thick light moka lacing head, not very carbonated. Nice chocolate malt aroma, like bitter chocolate. In mouth, a nice chewy chocolate malt with notes of bitter coffee, and light herbal notes. Long and sustained bitterness from roasted malts. Rich bodied. A very nice old ale veering on porter territory. Bieropholie import mid 2005.

Huge offwhite creamy head shrinks quickly towards a copper body. Complex, harmonic aroma of floral hops, honey, rubber, and wet paper. It’s good, but there is some not so good mixed in. Taste is deep, flowery honey, with smoky, citric notes, and touches of paper. Aftertaste is dry papery malts. Slightly lacking in body. Not at all bad. (0.5l bottle.)

330ml bottle bought at Utobeer in London(15.09.2006). Almost black in colour with a brownish head that last for a while. Strong malty aroma with hints dark fruit. Chocolate and dried-fruit flavour. Touch of sourness and some yeast now and then. Nice bitter ending.
