(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 19 Dec) Dark brown, mahogany colour with frothy beige head. Malty nose with notes of dark rye bread and dried fruit. Malty taste with dried fruit, chocolate, dark cherries in brandy, blueberries, caramel, toffee and a punch of earthy hops in the finish. In perfect balance, quite brilliant actually.
