5.4/10 Appearance 4 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Cloudy golden colour with very brief, white head. Fruity nose with apricots, peaches, vanilla and distinct bubble-gum aromas. Fruity taste with notes of peaches, mandarin, citrus and hints of sweet candy. Finish is slightly spicy but not overly sweet. Thin body. Rather fresh but on the boring side.

Amber and bright. Light fruity note. Kind of blueberry-ish fruity taste. Boring, but at least it’s clean, which is a bonus for a Tommyknocker.

Bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm
Dark mahogany color; generous creamy head. Light aroma of roasted malt and out-of-place sourness. The body is medium, thinner than expected, with chocolate and caramel flavor, less bitterness than common American beers and light woody touch (giving a very light sourness). Good, not exciting.

Quickly descending head and muddy brown body. Dark fruit and sugar aroma. Really sweet. Nice finish. Sugary malts. Middle of the beer is good. Roasted malts. Easy to drink for a doppelbock.

Pours an amber read color with a off-white head. Taste is some roastiness and some caramel sweetness, but at the same time it is pretty crisp and very drinkable. Body is not too light and as such is a nice filling feeling.

Clear looking. Mediocre smelling and tasting. Pretty much a pale lager with a little bit more flavor, but not much better quality. Some citrus and grass.

Ok, I don’t know, but this beer may have gone bad. It was at a clearance sale at Marty’s. Pours cloudy amber and has an ok looking head. Aroma is ok, but the taste was so metallic and unappealing that I barely want to mention it. There was a lot of flavors, but none of them seemed to match up. This beer was either skunked or it sucked; I don’t know which of those two options is the more probable.

Bottle. Pour is a medium/light brown that looks much darker when it is all in the glass together. A bit of a soap bubble head and light aromas of cocoa, burnt malt and vanilla are enticing, but not very full. Flavor is pretty good, but comes across as watery at times... It’s a nice mix of cocoa and roasted malt with a little bit of a honey like sweetness to it. Pretty good, especially considering the low expectations that some of my previous experiences with Tommyknocker have created.
