(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 18 Sep 2009) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with freshly ground coffee, dark berries and dark chocolate. Roasted, malty taste with notes of well roasted coffee, dark bread, cocoa and a dry, well roasted finish with a generous coffee bitterness. Slightly above medium body. Brilliant balance. Very nice porter. Quite impressive.

500ml bottle, batch 295, picked up at Systembolaget in Linköping. Bright amber body, modest white head. Grain-malty aroma. Mingled taste of distant hops and bready malts. Smooth and quite long-lived bitter finish. Medium bodied. A fine Swedish expression of the style (hotel room, 02.09.2009).
