gnoff (2560), Göteborg, Sweden Dec 6, 2007 (50 cl bottle from Systembolaget) Clear dark brown with reddish hints color, medium size creamy tan head. Milk, yogurt, malt and alcohol scent, also sweet and some sweet licorice mixed with toffee and fudge. Sweet, alcohol, slightly roasted taste with a subtle coffee aftertaste. Alcohol is a bit too evident though. Borderline big mouthfeel, rather smooth. Medium light bitterness. Should improve with a bit of aging, might try that.

Finishes dry with balancing bitterness. Medium to full bodied, sticky palate. A bit tangy carbonation. Surprisingly full & nicely bitter bock.
