A hazy red-brown beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel - and so is the flavor. Drinkable, but nothing special.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark brown, creamy head. Sweet and caramelly. Light-medium bodied with clean hard crystal malt profile. Short, lightly salty finish. Simple and a bit harsh.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, reddish mahogany with an off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts. Medium body, lightly sweet roasted malt with a vague bitterness in the finish - and then not a lot more. 210606

dark brown with ruby highlights, lasting tan head, sweet malt aroma, dry malt flavor with balancing spicy hops, only the slightest hint of sweetness, not the complex character from years ago,

Dark brown beer with decent mocha head. Caramel aroma. Malty flavor, minimal hops. A trifle watery, but not bad.
