Bottle. Pours jet black with almost no head. Berries, chocolate and tobacco in the nose. Surprisingly thin bodied but the tastes are all there; raisins, hint of cherry, bit of chocolate and liquorice, tobacco and tar giving a whisky finish. You can tell the alcohol is there but there’s no heat from it.

Bottle at a tasting. Mostly sweetish and malty, caramel and chocolate notes, slightly woody. Another one of the bunch, which survived the prolonged aging in a pretty good shape. Enjoyed!

Flaska bishops Örebro. Flasktappad för drygt 5 år sedan. Mörkbrun nästan svart vätska utan skum. Djup vibös doft av russin, muscovadosocker, fat, choklad och lite nötter. Portvin. Liknande i smak. Ganska söt men mustig och inte alls sliskig. Lätt torr munkänsla med mjuk och len avrundning

Dark mahogany color, small head. Caramel head, with some oxidisation. Food body, malt and caramel flavor, but too much alcohol; strong bitterness; a bit nutty; moderate sweetness.

The aroma of overripe fruit. Over ripe fruit and easy licorice taste. Okay bitterness that fills the upper part of the mouth for a long time. Not so good beer. But you can drink it. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.
