Bottle 0,25l at The Bishops Arms, Luleå 4 Aug 08. Also labeled "Årgangsporter 2006". Black as coal. A mocca coloured head. Strong aroma of coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Surprisingly easy to drink. A well balanced flavor in the same direction as the aroma and lasting almost forever. Aftertaste of chocolate. This is art! Drakk den på nytt på samme plass 18 Aug 10. Fortsatt en STOR opplevelse.

Bottle, at the Rover, Gothenburg. (2006 vintage, 10%) Served in a Triple Karmeliet glass, which proved to be a nice choice from the barman. There’s just nothing to complain about regarding the appearance of the beer. It’s jet black, with a creamy, tan head. The aroma is smooth as hell, with lots of mocha doing a good deal of the job, but has company of a sweetish vanilla and marzipan scent. The alcohol can be detected, but is very weak. In the mouth, it’s very sweet in a good way, with flavors of mocha, some vanilla and a hint of alcohol and dried fruits. It’s very low on bitterness, and also on hops, but it’s just delightful. Sort of leaves me lost for words. (080710)

(Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm, 16 Aug 2008) Golden yellow colour with a rocky, white head. Fruity nose with notes of grapefruit, grass and hints of grain. Fruity, grassy taste with grapefruit and grain. Fairly dry finish with lots of grassy, floral hops. Nice beer, not far from the Slättöl, but slightly fruitier.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm. Hazy pale golden, firm rocky head. Rich hop aroma of lychee and gooseberry. Light-medium bodied with gentle rounded mouthfeel and good amounts of citric, lychee-like Amarillo hops. The bitterness is marked, but remains balanced. A really flavourful thirst quencher.
