3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 VsXsV (388) - Linköping, SWEDEN - FEB 5, 2011
33 cl bottle from Systembolaget. Medium cream head and hazy, brown appearance with a reddish hue. Some lacing. Smells of prunes, plums, brown sugar, belgian yeast esters (banana etc) and some alcohol. Very nice, balanced aroma. Taste is a little sweet with a rather high bitterness for the style. Lots of notes of molasses and malt taste in general. A bit too light bodied for the style. Dry mouthfeel with some alcohol. This is a good example of the style and really well tasting.

Pours brown with a big off-white head that leaves lots of lacings as it settles. Dried fruits, brown sugar and a whiff of alcohol in the aroma. Despite the somewhat sugary aroma, the beer is rather dry. Rather long aftertaste of dried fruits. Light bitterness. Lively carbonation but still a quite smooth mouthfeel.
