Seasonal location, beautifully located in a park. 10 taps, with a worse taplist than Omnipollos hat. There was nothing on tap that titillated us on our visit, with mostly hazies and fruited kettle sours. The WC pils and WC IPA we tried were pretty terribly dialed in. Great spot, terrible beer, as Omnipollo tends to produce other than BA impies. Worth a visit for the location, but the beer quality really is trendy, shoddy nonsense.

Nice spot in central Stockholm, close to Stigbergets Fot, Akkurat, and Oliver Twist. 10 taps, only 1 of which was an imperial stout (187 SEK for 15 cl!!), and the rest of which were mostly crappy hazies and fruited kettle sours. Omnipollo's beers are seriously overrated IMO, and this visit didn't change our opinion. They did have a couple of Marlobobo meads available in 4 cl pours, which didn't improve the experience. Worth a visit maybe, especially if they have a BA impie on, but if not, useless, overhyped, overpriced beer.

Another beautiful Mikkeller Bar, just south of Gamla Stan and some of the better bars in Stockholm (Akkurat, Oliver Twist, Stigbergets Fot). 20 taps, 20 cl and 40 cl pours available, and bartenders are happy to give free tastes. The taplist wasn't terribly interesting when we visited, so we just grabbed a couple small pours. Beautifully designed interior and pleasure to hang out at as usual. Worth a visit when doing the rounds in Stockholm.

On tap at Omnipollos Flora, pours a clear dark purpleish red with a small white head. Aroma is full of lactose, lacto, mixed berries, and some pineapple. Flavour is floral, with plenty of lacto, mixed dark berries, and gentle sweetness. Lots of berries and lacto. Simple, useless fruited kettle sour.

On tap at Omnipollos Flora, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has unfermented wort, some piney bitterness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bitter, with dry biscuity malt, unfermented wort, and a touch of pine. This is incompetent in many ways, the worst of which being that unfermented wort problem, and secondly, the hop expression is nothing like what a WCIPA should be. Poor.

330mL bottle at Man in the Moon, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has plenty of whiskey barrels, light smokiness, dark roasted malt, and deep coffee. Flavour is remarkably complex and elegant, with rich coffee, deep roasted malt, lightly smoky whiskey barrels, and some dark sugars. Wonderful whiskey character that combines well with the coffee and roast. Mild alcohol burn. Beauty.

On tap at Man in the Moon, pours a hazy amber orange with a small white head. Aroma is full of diacetyl and other fucked up off-flavours. Flavour is totally fucked up, with pure diacetyl, butyric, and not much else. Completely fucked.

250mL bottle at The Bishops Arms Gamla Stan, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with intense rum barrels, soy sauce, marmite, and roasted malt. Flavour is full of marmite, soft rum barrels, gentle roast, and soy sauce. Has some odd flavour characteristics that I wouldn’t normally get past but they seem to work reasonably well here. Good but, as usual, overhyped and overpriced.
