Brown-amber color; creamy head. Very nice hoppy aroma. Good hoppy taste, a bit malty, too much caramel.
2002-11-14, 8-5-7-5-16=41
Dark red-amber color, misty, nice head. Nice hop aroma, more equilibrate than Jämtlands Pilgrim Ale. Good mix of malt, roasted malt and hop; pretty dry, but less than Jämtlands Pilgrim Ale, also less strong final, anyway really good.

Golden colour, nice perlage. At first, a boring lager aroma, but just after a very nice hop aroma appears, improving every minute.
Very interesting flavor, quite rare for a bottled lager: dry but with a strong body; the first impression reveals the high hopping, only partially balanced by the malt, even of good quality. The palate is strong, far beyond the average, just too bitter in the (maybe a too long infusion), but the aromatic hop is remarkable, and the maltiness doesn't hide too fast.
I couldn't stop drinking stuff like this, till now one of the best Scandinavian I had.

Nut brown colour. Medium to small head. Wonderful aroma; hops, chocolate & caramell. I could sniff on this forever! Very bitter flavour, the chocolate turns up again in the finish. A decent beer, but it smells better than it tastes.

Bottled:
Pours dark reddish brown with a small head. Sourish and peaty aroma. Slightly roasted flavour with notes of bitter almonds, smoke and sour peat. Something’s not right here.
