A reddish brown well hopped pale ale. Reasonably malty, medium sweet, nice big, citrusy hop aroma followed by a balanced bitterness.

Vvery dark amber in colour, with a robust nose showing chocolatey, coffeeish malt undertones and herbal notes. The body is firm, the finish soft and malty, with hop aromatics. Complex and flavourful, this is another fine beer from a consistently excellent brewery. This ESB deserves a little cask-conditioning.

Very rich aroma of coffee and dark malts, and a well-balanced, toasty palate. Amongst the top five porters in the world (which would put it in the top three in Scandinvia - wow).

Chestnut hue; bready, toast-like; caramel malt present; the light chocolate note found in pretty much all Jamtlands beers is here as well.

Dark mahogany hued ale, subtley spiced with what tastes like cinnamon and orange zest, but also with good dark malt character and the trademark earthy hoppiness and notes of cocoa. A little sweeter than your average Jamtlands.
