Bottle. This is certainly hoppy. Gold in color with a large, long lasting head. Citrus in aroma and taste. Very bitter finish.

Bottle. If you like a hoppy, sour ale you might like this one. I didn't care for it.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy orange gold with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Big grapefruit terpenes on the nose with dank, punchy citrus and pithy zest as it warms. More fresh ruby red grapefruit juice notes on the palate but balanced out with some pith and dank notes. Balanced finish with some tropical punch. Surprised by this one actually.

Bottle at home. Pours jet black with a thin beige head. Nose is booze and mainly bourbon, some chocolate, more coffee, some molasses. Taste is chocolate, booze, lots of molasses, light coffee, vague dried fruits. Moderately sweet. Closes with an abrupt finish in which the booze gets more apparent, the body is way too thin for this abv and it shows all the way. Not bad, but way too thin. It's not the first relatively highly rated classic US stout that's pretty highly rated here but I found kinda underwhelming... Old Rasputin, Oh! Fudge, Founders' Breakfast Stout and KBS for instance were all far from what I hoped they would be. Oh well.

Sample during Blarney Wine Festival 2025 on 03/15/2025. Pours a dark copper color with a medium frothy light beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of roast malt, caramel, fruit and tobacco. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, ripe fruit, earthy hop and tobacco. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Overall this held up surprisingly well at 14 years.

Återtestad förra test 2015 kommer här .Fatbira. Doften jävlar du så friskt å fylligt av barr frukter. Mycket bra start . Smakar då? Jo som en blandning mellan klassiker Dipa och en pilsner. Jepp precis så., bra bira knappt medelfyllig. Lättdrucken tyvärganska hårt kolsyrad och nåt vasst sticket igenom i gomen. Passar nog till det mesta. Mat , till skitsnack . Sommarbira.,. Betyg då 3.8 Nu 24 februari 2019 flaska från bolaget. Håller med 2015 års beskrivning förutom sjukt tydlig och bra mango i doft och smak. Det enda minuset på ölen är höga kolsyran i munnen som påminner om läsk. Lätt bästa mango Dipan i Sverige just nu..

Tap @ Haandtverkeren, Kristiansand. Unclear golden body with a nice, big white head. Very nice fruity aroma with some complexity, citric, tropical, grapefruit, berries and pale malt. Flavor has the same fruitiness, some sweet pale malt and good bitterness. Fine balanced body and pleasant aftertaste. Nice one.

Tap @ Håndtverkeren. Unclear golden body with a medium sized, dense white head. Refreshing aroma of citric fruit, grapefruit, hint of pineapple and pale malt. Flavor is sweet pale malt, sweet citric fruit, refreshing grapefruit, citric zest and medium bitterness. Medium body and OK aftertaste. Nothing extraordinary but a fine, fresh thirst quencher I could drink anytime.

Tap @ Haandverkeren. Hazy orange golden body with a lacing, creamy white head. Aromais citric fruity, mild acidic, slightly minerals and just a faint hint of yogurt. Flavor is nice and citric fruity refreshing, slightly acidic and a mineral touch. Medium body and nice aftertaste in the same direction. Nothing complex really, but a well made slightly extra fruity Berliner weisse kind of beer without fruit juice and almost no yogurt. And that's a really positive thing as too many beers in this style have to much of both. Well made, fine balanced and very refreshing.
