Pours looking like cola - the mouthfeel is also very similar to cola, with some prickly, fizzy carbonation on the tongue - very sweet and one-dimensional - some bitter, cheap-ass coffee flavor and a roasty/ashy quality - a tiny bit of bitterness on the end, but mostly a sugary sweetness - this tastes like someone’s first, semi-successful attempt at homebrew. 635310

Big thanks to kiefdog for sharing a bottle of this modusly good brew. Pours clear deep gold with thin off white head. The aroma is full with pine and grapefruit along with sweetness far off in the background. The taste is fruity with sweetened grapefruit and tangelo and then moving into a citrus candy like note. The malt sweetness is subtle and a bit slick at times. This brew carries plenty of yummy hop flavor and bitterness. Nice! Solid IPA.

Bottled@Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Very deep amber colour, small brown head. Aroma is wood, toffee, coffee and some mild notes of dark dry fruits. Flavour is wood, fruits, some coffee and mild nuttyness along with a quite roasted malty back. A bit thin.

Bomber - black pour with a soapy lace - aroma of roasted malt, cherries, bittersweet chocolate, oaky tannins - creamy, medium-full body - the flavor is dry and roasty, with a decent dose of smoke - a bit of cherry and a light acidity - anise and bitter chocolate - much less oak in the flavor than in the aroma, but it is still noticeable - the alcohol is very well-masked, and since it has a lighter body than your average 9.6% brew, it can catch up with you fast - quite a nice beer.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Dark mahogany colour, creamy head. Appley licorice nose. Sweet, clean and empty. Spritzyness resolves the hard malt into bubbles that disappear into vacuum. Caramel with salt and resin, but all diluted. Green apples comes to dominate the finish.

Bomber - turbid, glowing orange, with a huge, well-sustained, frothy head - yup, she looks purdy - clove, bubblegum, banana, some floral notes in the nose, some earthy wheat - full mouthfeel, medium-soft carbonation - moderate sweetness - tangy/tart character - a tad bit spicy, with some peppery alcohol heat on the tail end of things - clove and banana are there, but are fairly subdued - fairly refreshing for it’s strength, but hefty enough to keep you from drinking it too fast - not bad.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is a sweet malt with raisin and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a light hop taste with caramel and citrus. A good amber fron Ska.

Can from Liquor Max. Pours a darkish, hazy amber with a reasonable off-white head. It has a resin aroma. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is piney resin. Could be a touch of roasted caramel. Mostly hop. Keeps on being hoppy to the finish and beyond. Seems to go a bit floral, but the resin persists. A really tasty IPA. Love it.

12 oz. can. Taking a break from compiling my GTMW beers with something at home. Hell, I had to sip it out of the can right away. Got a nice mouthful of scrumptious hop bitterness. Just one sip gave me a little bot of gas return. Pours great brownish amber with gold highlights, big foamy IPA head. Got this in April, despite being well canned, the hops have settled somewhat, leaving mostly a light piny bitterness. Taste is a refreshing smack of hops, just right for any hardcore hophead. Lighter carbonation gives it a bit of a cask feel that makes it go down just fine.

It pours a dark color, almost black, with too much head (too much carbonation). The aroma is meaty, with some roasted malt (mild) and fresh wood; light yeast too. Medium bodied; it has some chocolate and roasted malt flavor, less bitter than most American beers. Quite boring overall.
