Opaque yellow with a white head. Tropical fruits, citrus, somewhat dank. Sweet oat but in a reserved manner. Finish is tangy. Full body. Good for the style.

473ml can at Vaasa May tasting.
The beer poured black in color.
The aroma has roasted malts, dark chocolate and nutty notes. Some chili burn in the flavor, but tolerable. Syrupy sweet with a long spicy chili finish.

0,33 burk från Systemet Strømstad, tack til Cunningham! Klar, rødlig kastanjfarge med fint skum som varer. Ristet brød og ristede hasselnøtter, urter og mørke karameller. A great brown ale, just up my road.

Can from Systembolaget. Classic brown ale aroma. Not too heavy which was nice but rather dull all in all.
