Hand-pulled pint in The Green Man: the club bar at Forest Green Rovers football ground. An hour before Grimsby Town beat them on 5 Mar 2013. Sadly it was poured into a plastic ’glass-like’ container. An off-white head of foam sat on top of an amber/old gold body. Aroma is both fruity and earthy with a mild biscuity undertone. The taste was also on the fruity side with a semi-sweet caramel feel to the overall flavour: it had a short bitter finish and I would gladly have had another if I hadn’t been driving. My first beer from this brewery: hope it isn’t the only one I get to try.

Bottle from Systembolaget in Jakobsberg, February 2013. Amber with a minimal white head. Aroma and taste of malt, toffee, biscuits, dried fruit and some earthy notes. Also notes of alcohol. Not much carbonation in this one. Drinkable but a bit boring.

Flaska från Systembolaget. Bärnstensfärgad vätska. Knappt något skul. Markerad doft av toffe, kola och karamell. Beskan balanserar sötman på ett bra sätt. Inte någon lång eftersmak att skriva hem om. Alkoholstyrkan fyller ut känslan i munnen utan att vara påträngande spritig.

Bottle from Tomlinsons, Inverness 071212
Chestnut brown, off white big fizzy head, dissipates to thin layer, over carbonated, some lacing
Aroma - Strong cinnamon and nutmeg, underlying vegetative smell, some dark malt
Taste - Strog cinnamon, nutmeg, bit of clove, over spicy, some dark caramel malts, hint of dark fruits, rather unbalanced, not a fan of this
Palate - Medium carb and body (after carbonation has settled down), quite creamy but without the background of malt flavour to back it up, spicy palate, still too fizzy. Finish - over dry, rapid strong spicy finish
Overall - Overcarbonated, rather unbalanced, the underlying beer seems rather dull and it has been overspiced to compensate. Didn’t work for me.....I tipped half the bottle down the sink
