Bottle shared in London - thanks to Scopey. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds toasted caramel, bread, milky coffee. Medium sweet flavour with notes of tangy berries, some caramel, watery malts, earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with a light metallic note, some further caramel, bread, light cardboard. So so overall.

Taste comprises coffee grinds, light roast, faint spice, toasted bread, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok white stout ... can get the coffee vibe.

Bottle at L42. It pours clear deep oily amber with a thick off-white head. The aroma is toasty, earthy roast, coffee beans, porridge and wood. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy roast, coffee, toasty oats, cacao nibs, drying tannin and black tea with a drying and toasty finish. Light - medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit drying and earthy. Okayish.

33cl bottle from Viking Gabriella. Pours deep mahogany color with a thick lasting white head. Aroma has rum, raisin notes and bread. Bready malty, soaked raisins, some sweetness. Light bodied, but otherwise pretty nice flavors.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BBE Oct 18, from Viking Grace, 20170721) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts and dark chocolate. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, saltiness, liquorice, dark chocolate, ash, vineousness and bitterness. Aftertaste was ashy and bitter. A too burnt brew but otherwise surprisingly fascinating.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BBE unreadable, from Viking Grace, 20170721) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had raisins, rhum and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, raisins, rhum, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, malty and mildly bitter. A beautiful looking beer having excessive amounts of sweetness and other ingredients hiding the actual beer.
