A: hazy amber-brown, stable, frothy, tan head.
A: old raisin, mouldy cherry, rotting red apple, toffee, liqueur.
T: sweet raisin, cherry, apple & pear, toffee.
F: herbal hops, bitter dried orange peel, sweet dried fruit, warming liqueur-like alcohol.
P: medium body, thin oily texture, average carbonation.
Smells old and maderised but in a bad way an any assertive bitterness has faded away - my guess is that they served an old batch here at the festival. Too bad.

Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Creamy sweetness malts but somewhat thin on the mouthfeel. Mellow bourbon fruits with a nice light barrel induced vanilla. Aquavit is supposed to be neutral but as per those few occasions I've had Aquavit BA beers before, I get a light ripe and almost candyish fruity flavour Finishes light and semi dry. No heat whatsoever from this 13.9% beer. Either the alcohol is miscalculated or this is a dangerously quaffable beer. Nice blend of bourbon ba and Aquavit BA, just a tad thin and dry in the mouthfeel.

Bottled@Rådhuskällaren, Umeå. Hazy golden colour with minor head. Aroma is sour wood, funk andsome rubbery and dusty notes. Flavour is rubbery, dusty, some strange tartness and lactic notes. Lots of unclean elements, even for a sour beer.

Sample (thanks fonefan). Black colour small brown head. Aroma is fruity, some liquorice, mild toast, some wood and a wee bit smoke/roast. Flavour is big time ashes with some smoke, liquorice, super sweet alcohol sting and mild burnt wet wood. Too boozy.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Deep amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, some spices, mild alcohol and some alcohol sweetness along with some vanilla and wooden tones. Flavour is fruity, dried fruits, some plum, alcohol, spices and mild vanillaish and wooden tones. Balanced, but alcohol gives a rather big sweetness to it.
