Bottled. Dark brown/ruby red colour with brownish red head. Aroma of burnt sugar, roasted malts and alcohol. Flavour is roasted malts, alcohol and malts. The alcohol gives a very "warming" feeling. A porter brought to the extremes. Superb!

Bottled. Dark brown colour, small brown head. Aroma is plastic, roasty, flowery and wooden. Flavour is coffee, roast, wood and somekind of weird sweetness. Mainly roast in the aftertaste. Dry palate.

On tap at Plain Kitchen, Göteborg. Black colour, moderate tan head. Fairly strong roasty aroma, dark chocolate dominates. Flavour of roast malts, but also some sour & sweet notes. Chocolate in the finish. Quite good.

On tap at The Rover, Göteborg. Dark chestnut colour, nearly ruby when held to the light. Amazing aroma of smoke, bonfires, seaside, tar and woodwork - but not the smoked sausage aroma of German rauchbiers. Smoke and tar in the flavour too, slightly drier than I would prefer, dusty / ashy finish. Not much else going on besides the smoke and tar.

On tap at The Rover, Göteborg. Amber colour, moderate head. Initially a strange aroma of sweaty socks, then some grapefruity hops come through. Flavour is malty and somewhat alcoholic with raisin notes. Quite sweet, more of a barleywine style.

On tap at The Rover, Göteborg. Copper coloured, low head. Nice nutty and hoppy aroma, notes of toffee and grapefruit. Hoppy flavour on a decent malty base, grapefruity elements, "dusty" hops in the finish, bitter aftertaste. A bitter well above average.

Draught. Dark copper coloured, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is strong smoke and burnt wet wood. Same in flavour along with tar. Long smoked aftertaste. Reminds of the Schlenkerlas, but still not as "heavy" as those.
