500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 9.5%. Black colour, ruby in the highlights, big beige head. Nice aroma of mild coffee, chocolate and vanilla. The flavour is moderately roasty with notes of chocolate, mild coffee, vanilla and oak, hints of caramel and liquorice. Medium sweet, moderate bitterness. Far from the heaviest imperial stout I’ve had, but nice and drinkable.

On tap at KØ-10, as Aktieøl. It’s a clear, golden beer topped by a small, off-white head. Caramel-sweetish nose with a nice banana fruityness. Some citrus. The flavor follows the same path, with caramel sweetness and citrusy, bananaish fruityness. Some white sugar towards the end. Full-bodied and effervescent, dry yet sweetish, and quite smooth. A pleasant one, drinking rather nice too. 100508

Bottle at Borefts BF ’10. Deep dark brown to black colour, beige head. Aroma of drop/liquorice, light salty, chocolate. Flavour is sweet, lots of liquorice/drop, light salty, roasted malts, sweet liquorice finish. Medium bodied. A bit one dimensional imo, but if you like liquorice, this is your beer.

Bottled at Monk’s Porterhouse, Stockholm. Almost black, creamy head. Concentrated aroma of herbal spices and licorice. Mid sweet with near full body and clan, rounded mouthfeel. Some butter, salt and bitter cocoa as well as aniseed and licorice. Salty licorice finish. An interesting spiced stout that would well for christmas also in Sweden.
