Draught at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Cloudy pale amber, minimal head. Citric tangerine aroma. Fairly sweet with clean mouthfeel and medium body. Rich salty citric hops, very clean crystal malt character. Really bitter finish. American style, both in hops and malt. I prefer when British brewers do the former, but am not too keen about the latter.

33cl Bottle from deeblo, thanks Bruce! Black colour, thin light brown head. Aroma of buttery popcorn, like a milk stout, peat, ash, hard roasted malts. Flavour is bitter roasted malts, peat, earth, ash, some dark fruits, bitter chocolate, popcorn, sour cream, bitter roasted finish. Medium to fullbodied, almost flat. Too bad of the butter notes, and could’ve used a bit more Caol Ila ageing imo. Nevertheless, really nice.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines: not really getting into this kind of beer has an odd fruity liquorice taste. It has plenty of bombastic there with a taint of indigo. Won’t be having again but glad I tried it!

Cask at St Albans beer festival 2012. A black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, fruity aroma. Tastes bitter, chocolate, slightly sour, hoppy. I was expecting something better from Summer Wine.

Keg at Euston tap. It pours cloudy brown, with a thin white rim. The nose is full of berry, liquorice, plum, prune, raisin, parma violets, cider notes, citrus fruit and a touch of white wine vinegar. The taste is initially full of sweet berry (blackcurrant and blueberry), raisin, cherry, fruit yoghurt, jam and caramel, then zesty citrus, assertive bitterness, wood, resin, liquorice, medicinal aspect, pepper and herbal notes, with a long, peppery-bitter finish. Medium-full body and fine carbonation. With each mouth-full something else comes through. Wow there is a hell of lot going on here and the flavours somehow meld together well. Interesting and flavoursome.

Aroma: Very interesting aroma of whisky, resin, vanilla, coffee and cocoa.
Appearance: Black body with a large, light brown head. Good lacing.
Taste: Bizarrely - as this is classed as a ’sweet stout’ - I found this to have a slightly sour, tangy taste, similar to unripe fruit.
Palate: Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Light carbonation.
Overall: I definitely prefer Summer Wine’s Teleporter to this. Despite the awesome aroma, this was let down by a strange sour taste (perhaps this bottle was skunked?) and by being a bit on the thin side.
