Cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Mahogany colour. Appetizing, fruity cherry aroma. Dry with rounded mouthfeel, notes of tobacco. Some disturbing vegetables in the finish. Medium bitterness. This beer is like Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Clear deep golden. Sweet, honeyish and fruity up front, followed by soft, rounded maltiness and a drier, resiny finish with good bitterness. Somewhat bold and unrefined, but still a more than decent pint.

A dark brown beer with a beutiful but disappearing head. The aroma is hoppy with notes of roasted malt. The flavor is very soft and dominated by a good roasted malt giving it a wellbalanced sweet giving way to a slight bitterness turning somewhat dry before lingering. A really good beer.

Near black. Dry and very roasty - yet fruity (apples and plums prominent). Notes of licorice. Long, dry bitter finish. A very pleasant cask porter.
