Thanks to Omhper for sending this one!! I shared this one with aracauna. Deep mahogany pour with a decent creamy thick head. Good aroma with chocolate, roast malt and a little coffee. The roast malt adds a little sting. The flavor is chocolate which is firm, but not overpowering, with roast malt bitterness balancing out the sweet malts.

Thanks to Per for sending this one my way! Deep amber color with a huge creamy off white head. Caramel and malt in the nose. The flavor is sweet and needs more bitterness to be a good English Pale Ale but this is pleasant like a brown ale without the chocolate. Very nice beer.

Bottled. Copper colour, rich head. Lovely hoppy aroma with grapefruit and toffee. The malt profile is where this beer falls short of other Jämtland beers - it is hard and clean without depth. A full body and long bitter finish helps, but Jämtland can do a lot better than this.

Blond color. Peculiar aroma, with light vanilla, flowers (especially orange flowers), green tea. Very good Pilsener, with reasonable maltiness, very good hopping, leading to an interesting final, very strong, with also a light fruitness and very good hop.

Dark brown with clear reddish shine; slim white head. Dark sweetish chocolate in the nose, bit of dark fruit, even vinous. Taste of dark, but not bitter chocolate. There is a bit of malt sweetness in this beer. Character of dessert wine. Although little carbonation visually, very obvious in the mouthfeel. Rather refreshing beer! Medium bodied. Warming up gives coffee notes, but never bitter. Strange beer. I think that, poured from a dark container, one could fool quite a lot of people making them believe this is anything but beer. It certainly isn't bad.

Very dark colour, nearly black; dark greige-brown head, fast dissipating. Very (dark)bready, chocolate & varnish nose. Bread aroma gets more burnt - Maillard? Dry, bitterish taste. Grainy flavours like specific dark grains, roaste barley or oats; slight acidic finish included. Bit smoked too. Mouthfeel bit thinnish, unlike all the grainy flavours would suggest. Good dark bottom-fermenting beer. 'Starkol' is Scandinavian perception. Big thanks to Bjorn & Anders for the Jämtlands choice.

Peachy orange, very slight haze; very carbonated, good, slightly yellowish, head, collapsing. Hoppy, herbal, very faint camphor in the nose. Very hopbitter taste, even bit of bogmyrtle, but not too much for its 5.1 ABV. Very slight biscuity flavour, lurking under all the hops. White grapes retronasal. Very refreshing. Palate is a bit empty - not really surprising for a well-attenuated bottom-fermenting beer. This is an exceptionally enjoyable "lager". I caught myself leasurely drinking away, 'stead of carefully recording flavours and impressions. Good sign - if all "strong lagers" were like this one... Good Hell! - JPP as a lager lout!

The aroma is sweet malty with notes of yeast and aroma hops. The color is a hazy orange and it has a beutiful white head. The flavor is lovely sweet and malty from a good maltblend with notes of grains and yeast. It has a very nice slightly bitter hoppy end that tickles the thogue. A nice pilsener.

The aroma is very malty sweet - from a nice malt blend including caramel malt notes of nuts and yeast mixes in. Great aroma. The color is nut brown and it has a beutiful bubbly beige head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of nuts and caramel which turns hoppy bitter in the middle just to end on a note of malty dryness coming from roasted and chocolate malt that lingers. A great and very complex flavor.
