3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Ölrepubliken, Göteborg.
Clear dark charneol colour, with creamy head. Sweet orange nose, along with caramel, flowers and little rubber jelly. Superb mouthfeel, smoth with balancing flavours of sweet cookie malt and the hops. The malt is sweet and light toasty, but not overly sweet, slightly reminiscent of fudge or even sweetalmonds but that is just on low levels. The bitterness is of that of the American Style ESB’s. Really an elegant beer.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Järnet Matsal & Bar, ideal with the burger I had for lunch. Dark copper with a huge and lasting pillow of a fluffy head - it may be the bartender that earned this beer a perfect 5 for appearance, but so be it. Aroma of chocolate and toffee with a hint of roast malt. Toffee malty flavour with mild roast notes. Grassy and herbal hops and a good bitter finish. Very drinkable and nice complexity.
