2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark amber colored beer with creamy beige head. Rather sweet beer, with caramel malts, little bit hop as well. It’s tasty, full, nicely carbonated, not very complex. A pint is too much though...
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Gorgeous dark ruby colour with a lovely white head that sits a finger thick and clings to the sides. Great colour, aromas of fruit cake, allspice, figs and stewed rhubarb. A deeply complex and enticing aroma. Rich and roasty malts and then flavours of quince jelly upon tasting. Full bodied and then a desserty kiss of flavour and restrained, elegant bitterness. Cherries and dried currants on the finish. A champion in my book.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours ruby red with an off-white head which dropped quickly. Very fruity sweet aroma. The fruit carries right through into the taste. Apples, figs, pears, caramel. Subtle chocolate. The fruit lingers on the palate with a mild bitterness of hops. Very nice drinkable beer.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: NOV 13, 2011 33 cl bottle at Ryds Herrgård. Clear, reddish amber with medium, off-white, long persisting head. Aroma of malt, figs, caramel, dark fruits, English hops. Quite vinous. Dry, medium bitter and quite malty. Medium bodied with OK carbonation. Nice one but a bit boring.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at Monks Sveavägen Stockholm. Dark brown colour with a small white head. Sweet aroma. Moderately sweet flavour.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Brown with a nice creamy head. Lovely aroma of grainy malt, toffee, strawberry esters and resiny hops. Quite full body, taste is malt, fruit and toffee plus a subtle chocolatey roastiness that manages to survive the quite intense bitterness and is present in the aftertaste together with resiny hops and nuts. Great hearty beer for chilly autumn days!
