Smak och doft av humle, malt, karamell, torkad frukt. Smakrik och jämn, bra balans mellan sötma och beska.

50cl bottle from Lørenskog brusshop. Best before december 2011. It poured a bronze orange colour with a small white head. A tiny bit of carbonation. Aroma is malty with notes of dark caramel, nuts and a bit of hops. Flavour is sweet and malty. Notes of nuts, dark caramel, some fruits and bread. Faint notes of hops. Easy to drink, but nothing special.

Bishops Arms, Kiruna 28 Mar 12. Dyp brun. Lavt skum. God karamell/fruktaroma. Smaken er maltpreget - men litt vassen. Tørr avslutning.

500ml bottle at Bishops Arms Kiruna, shared with Finn. Near-clear, ruby-brown body. Rings of lacing. Farmyard to the nose added by red oranges. Mid-sweet malts mixed with mild spiced fruits in flavour followed by a straight and rounded bitter ending. Easy to drink. Thin, but not diluted. Session like, 28.04.2012.

Bottle. (old notes) Amber with a small white head. Light roasted aroma with hops. The taste was rather mild with hops, citrus and some resin. Also some bread. Resfreshing stuff.

50cl bottle, thanks tkrjukoff. Smells bread malty. Tastes abit boiled vegetables, bubbly and bitter with a similar finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark brown color. Aroma is sooo lightly hoppy, with only traces of grapefruit and pine from the American hops, I mostly get caramel malts. The flavor is kind of watery with light citrus notes and bitterness, but I mostly get some caramel malt and toffee notes. The body is light with a watery mouthfeel. Overall a huge disappointment from Dugges!

Gyllenbrun, skummar måttligt, skummet lägger sig som ett lock på glaset. Till karaktären som en engelsk bitter eller kanske special bitter. Rund och len i smaken men med amerikansk humle. Inte intensivt utan lite mer nedtonat. Skapar en fin balans mellan den lite söta kristallmalten och den friska amerikanska humlen som gör det till ett utmärkt matöl. Lite för liten karaktär för att sticka ut och utan den där Dugges-touchen.
