Body is medium to light, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (050908)

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.

(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

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a diminishing light tan head. Smooth and mild chocolate malty aroma with a mild hops accent. Smooth and light chocolate malty. Smooth and light chocolate malty finish.

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.

Bottled (thanks Degarth!). Deep amber colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is caramel malts, some earth and hops. Flavour is very much the same along with grass and metal. Not very pleasant.
