Smell-weak, malt, faint herbal tones.
Foam-thin, malt, weak roast, weak herbal tones, faint smoke. Head is medium-sized, light brown in color.
Appearance- somewhat interesting naked mermaid on the label, which I like. I guess? Dark brown in color, with no visible carbonation.

Taste - malty, weak faint caramel, faint herbal tones, smoke, lightly salted and a bit odd overall, not sure I like it, but I don't dislike it. Definitely somewhat unique, maybe some people might like it, but guess not my style.

From tap at Borefts ’15. Aroma of citrus, some honey, some malt, herbal notes. Flavour is moderately sour and sweetish. Body is medium. Interesting ’Braggot Saison’, though I’m not coming back for seconds.

From tap at Borefts ’15. Aroma of dark malt, prunes, red fruity notes, liquorice, roasty notes, fruity hops. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium to full. Rather sweet and sticky, but I love how the bittering hops balance things out. Rich beer.

On tap at Borefts ’15. Aroma of bready wheat and a peculiar herbal/spicy flavour from the caraway. Flavour is light sweet and light bitter. Plenty of caraway in the finish as well. Not a big fan of this, a small glass was enough, but definitely interesting in a new flavour kind of way.

From tap at Borefts 2016. Aroma is floral garden, strong herbal, grassy, bit wheaty, fruity notes. Flavour is mildly sourish. Body is medium. I did not really exect to like this based on the ingredients used, but I was pleasantly surprised.

From tap at Planet Oedipus ’17. Lots of malts in the aroma with caramel and notes of coffee. A bit spicy/herbal with a touch of dried fruits. Flavour is mild sweet and bitter. Nice, but a bit too light for its own good, could have used more body.

From tap at Planet Oedipus ’17. Malty aroma with caramel, toffee, creamy malt, and lots of juniper. Flavour is below medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Enjoyable with a pretty solid body, malt sweetness and soft juniper.

Bottle shared. Deep copper with small beige head. Massive spruce, honey, juniper, dried fruits, spicy citrus zest. Super resinous and sugary! Sweet onion. Very sweet, less bitter. Full bodied.
