(Draught, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep) Pitch black colour with a firm, brown head. Roasted nose with full chocolate and coffee aromas, notes of smoke and tar. Roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, tobacco and tar. Citrussy, hoppy bitterness in the finish, along with even more chocolate. Full body, with creamy, velvety texture. Perfectly balanced and warming. I’m impressed, this is absolutely excellent. (8/5/8/5/16=4.2) Rerate: (Bottle, 31 May 2015) Black colour with lasting, dense, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with black rye bread, black coffee, dark chocolate and some dark fruit. Malty, roasted taste with notes of black rye bread, dark chocolate, coffee. liquorice, tobacco and a generous roasty bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, mainly dry. Solid an well made imperial stout in excellent balance.

[Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival] Black, rich beige head. Strong chocolate aroma. Very soft and with light bodied for an imperial stout. The restrained sweetenss along with the slim body and soft mouthfeel leaves plenty of room for the chocolatey flavours. Like a bigger milk stout. Light notes of licorice and grassy hops show up towards the finish. The best new Swedish beer I sampled at the festival.

[Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival] Muddy brown, no head. Aroma of almond and caramel. Sweet and full bodied. Very yeasty with cottony soft mouthfeel. Some citrus and spicy hops, but dominated by massive malt and very evident yeast character. Still young, but very good.

On tap at The Rover, Gothenburg. A black beer with a small, beige nitro-like head. It has a burnt aroma with coffee and chocolate, but it is a bit too weak. The flavor is burnt and roasted, with chocolate and some licorice. Medium to full body. A pleasant beer, but a bit too thin, but on the other hand, it’s only 4.3%ABV. (060824)
