Bottle from Systembolaget. Decent enough Stout. Offered up some good bitterness and roasted flavours with a nice lasting foam.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a msall white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly lemongrass, but with some medicinal overtones. In the mouth it has a slightly watery texture and a bit of a strange flavour. Initially herbs, grains and ginger are prominent. Later, floral hops and more general spice come through. Finish is slightly dry and spicy. It’s a bit weird, but certainly OK – and definitely swiggablr !

Bottle from Cheers Liquor Store, Todmorden. Clear copper-amber, quite dark in this, with a small head. Malty and sweet, so much so in the latter there's a lot of red-berry influence that comes across as cherry at times. Similar in aroma.
