Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Mahogany colour, rich firm head. Caramelly aroma with lots of red wine. Sweet and caramellym, fruity with some cinnamon. Full bodied and very rich in flavour, also intensely sweet. I really like the flavour of full bodied red wine. Finishes with spun sugar sweetness. Really good to be a macro.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Dark brown, mahogany colour with pale brown head. Malty nose with spicy notes of chocolate, gingerbread cake and dark fruit (raisins, prunes). Full, malty taste with dried fruit (raisins, prunes) and herbs. Rather sweet with vinous notes (Madeira?) in the finish. Firm body with smooth mouthfeel. Chewy and very tasty beer.

Bottled. Clear, well-sparkling, dark reddish brown, with a large, dense, beige head that lasts. Lots of blackcurrant in the aroma, along with brown sugar, dried fruits and some cellar. Sweet flavor with berries, dried fruits, some yeast, spices and sugar. Medium to full body, and a finish with sugar, alcohol and spices. Nice one! (060807)

Dark brown with bubbly light brown head. Sweet carmel and sour overtone smell. Sourish bark like taste with slight tingle. Pretty ordinary!

Dark blackish in color with light bubbly brown head. Sweet wine smell like grapes. Dark beer flavor with malt. Tangy alcohol finish with malt lasting on your tongue.

Dark brown colour with no head. The aroma is of plums, figs, dark malts and port-soaked wood notes. Light body. Slightly acidic finish, but the flavours overall are quite sweet with notes of plums, brown sugar and wood. A little bit uneventful, though - this is a simple beer. That said, still pleasant and perfectly drinkable.
