Tap@MBCC May 2017, Copenhagen - Medium sweet, toasted and roasted malty, lots of sweet caramel, toffee, some brown sugar, solid hoppy backing, nice nutty notes, bourbon soaked wooden accents and some spices coalesce into the finish.
Bottle sample Sweet and medium roasted malty with big notes of chocolate and caramel, some treacle and fudge notes coming in, opulent thick mouthfeel, nice medley of spices creating some heat on the palate, deep bourbon soaked wooden notes into the close
Bottle sample (massive thanks to Tad & co 14/04/2017) - Aroma and taste is sweet malty with notes of chocolate, caramel, treacle, some chili spice, apple brandy wooden accents coming in, old and restrained now, but sure of been immense in its heyday

Nog can from Systembolaget. Clear and golden with a head that disappears to quick. Tastes like sodas from the 80’s minus an odd added colour called something like Elvira Blåtira or Kiviga Kruse. Tastes like fruit candy with artificial bitter almonds on booze. Quite horrible but still fun

Can at home from Beer Republic. Pours opaque copper with a finger wide off-white head. Nose is citric and somewhat grassy hops, light pine, faint malty notes, a touch of peppery spicyness. Taste is nicely balanced bittersweet notes of malts, booze and hops (orange and mandarin, Amarillo perhaps?), although these latter are not as pronounced as expected. There' a spicy, somewhat woody layer too in the taste, which gives an interesting additional dimension to the beer. Closes with long lasting bitter finish with some booze, has ligh to medium (yet full) body, and soft to average carbonation. Although I expected some more pronounced hop character, do understand it's not the most fresh (canned in April). The wood is a nice thouch however and it's nice to have an IPA that's actually bitter these days haha.
