Bottled at Bishops Arms, Gothenburg. Jet black with a nice tan head. Truely a dark beer. Lots of aroma in it, mocha, chockolate, coffee, roasted malt, alcohol-notes, ripe apples and dried fruits. Chocolate and coffee dominates the flavor, there really is a lot of it, and it has a long dryish, coffee-bitter finish, feeling almost dusty. Creamy mouthfeel. Lovely! Thx Roger. (060825)

Cask at Bishops Arms, Gothenburg. (Sold as Äkta Slättöl.) Clear, golden-colored beer with a small, white topping. Grapefruit-hoppy aroma with some pine. Fruity flavor as well, with pineapple, pine, resin and orange. The bitterness in the finish is resiny and almost astringent. Nice, but a bit one-dimentional. (060825)

[Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm] Very black, creamy firm head. Aroma of chocolate and licorice. Full bodied and velvetty soft, surprisingly dryish for it’s size. Mild, yet rich flavours of chocolate and caramel. Lightly tarry finish with fairly low bitterness.

Bottled at Plain Kitchen, Gothenburg. Very dark brown, with a small tan head. Chocolate, coffee, licorice, well-roasted malt and some hops in the aroma. The flavor has chocolate, coffee-beans, some hops and hints of sweetness. Full-bodied and mouth-drying. Long finish with dark, bitter chocolate. Lovely aroma, good flavor. Rating: 8-4-7-4-15-3.8.(060824)
On tap. It’s a next to black beer topped by a finger-thick beige head. Roasted nose with some chocolate, licorice, a little alcohol, subtle lemony hops and a vinous feeling. Salty licorice notes in the mouth, but mostly heavily roasted. Some alcohol, chocolate, coffee and resin too. Full-bodied and dry. The finish is dry and roasted, with citrus and some chocolate. Quite lovely. (090529)

RBESG 2006 Grand Tasting. ABV was 9.0%. Pitch black colour, low tan head. Lovely vinous oaky aroma with raisins and roasty notes. Roasty flavour with coffee and oaky (fortified wine) notes. Simply an excellent beer from my favourite Swedish brewery.
