Black beer; dark brown head. Sourish, nearly fishy (smoked Swedish herring or mackerel?) aroma, with some porridge-like notes, and dill (for the fish?). Cigarette ash, typical oatmeal flavour, certain acidity. Bitterish background, partly hops, partly carbonised. Well-filled texture, but lighter body, apt. This is a good beer, but where some people rave about, is beyond me.
