(Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival, 26 Sep 2008) Amber colour with foamy, white head. Fruity, slightly citric nose with dried apricots, orange, citrussy hops and bready malt. Fruity taste with notes of dried apricots, orange, a hint of sulphur, toffee and citrussy hops in the finish. Very fresh (second sample from the cask) and nice beer. Score: 7/4/7/3/13=3.4. Rerate: (Bottle, 9 Sep 2012) Reddish amber colour with brief, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of wild berries, ryvita, treacle, caramel and grassy hops. Malty, slightly fruity taste with caramel, red berries, apricots, treacle-toffee and a mild, herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. The bottled version doesn’t quite reach up to the fresh cask conditioned, but it’s still quite nice.

Had this at the European Beer Festival, Kobenhaven 13-09-08 This had a really smokey nose but I found ot to be much smokier in the mouth.. Some smoked mackerel which whilst doesn’t sound great in beer I rather liked. Really quite fresh tasting but with a lingering bitterness.

(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 19 Sep 2008) Black colour with brief, brown head. Malty, roasted nose with distinct notes of freshly ground coffee. Roasted, malty taste with coffee, blueberries, dark chocolate, lots of liquorice and a rather harsh, citrussy bitterness in a nicely balanced finish. Balanced sweetness, more than medium body, alcohol very well hidden. Excellent beer.
