Bottle. Rather malty, grainy, with some fruityness. Not very good or interesting. Kudos for trying local malt though. 545311 250517

Bottle. Clear amber body with a dense beige head that fades quickly. Aroma has dark malt with just a little faint hint of vegetables. Flavor is not spoiled with the vegetable from the nose, mostly malty, caramel, some dark fruit and moderate aftertaste. Medium body and average aftertaste. Drinkable but not very exiting.

Dark brown, no head. Has a nice toasty nose, but doesn't seem like a 12% imperial stout. There's a good quality toasted, chocolate note on the palate. Medium dry, some bitterness, toasty. There's a fair bit of hop, which lends it a different sort of balance. I'm okay with that, but I certainly prefer more richness.

On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. It's a clear one, brown in color, still and headless. Toffee, dark malts, some smoke and some booze and dark dried fruit in the aroma. It's medium bodied and very gently carbonated, with a light sweetness. Decent bitterness. Dark malts does most of the flavor work too, dark dried fruit, toffee and a touch of smoke and booze. Lasting finish. Quite dull, not very bock-ish. 240802

500ml (thx, Brian!) @ Salesforce. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: roasted malt, inky, some light sweetness. Taste: along the same lines, very bitter, a bit smoky. Overall: old style IS, very roasty with some sweetness.
