Brown to dark amber color; creamy head. Malty aroma, and caramel. Strong caramel taste, with some hops, but too much caramel (bitter) to be good.

Bottle Poured a clear deep copper color almost a mahogany with a modest but dense lasting dingy white head. Aroma is of dark or toasted grain some sweet spiciness brown sugar or darked pitted fruits. Flavor is bitter metallic and woody. Body I though to be fairly thin and a rather unplesant sour bitter aftertaste.

Bottle Pours a clear medium brown with a fairly thick foamy light tan head that sticks around. The lacing is also thick and sticky looking. Aromas are light and pale for what I expected from the style. Still nutty and somewhat sweet. Flavor is a plain pale wet cardboard. Earthy, woody and nutty but not impressivl\y so. Nice smooth feel. Very slight hop bitterness at the end and a clean finish. Pleasant but nothing special but can’t find anyting I really don’t like either.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Deep golden. Soapy grapefruit aroma. Medium dry with rounded mouthfeel. There’s lots of grassy hops and a salty, pleasantly bitter finsh. Bold, but still very drinkable.
