2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: FEB 27, 2012 Bottle. Deep golden colour, with a small white head. Llight caramel and a bit fruity aroma. Flavour are just about the same.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Very metallic malt aroma with some caramel tones. The taste is sweet, malty and a little spirituous.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Der Beginn ist hell malzlastig und zu klebrig geworden. Im Mittelteil ist das Bier kaum stärker, die alkoholisch klebrigen Noten haben sich zurückgeildt, die Herbe ist intensiver. Außerdem ist das Bier deutlich zu trocken. Zum Ende dann noch etwas dukelmalziger, auch hier nicht wirklich intensiv. Trinkbarer Bock ohne Besonderheiten. 9/8/9/9/6/9
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Golden color with a large head. Fruity aroma with alcohol notes. Sweet bready flavor, alcohol, fruits and some toffee.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
It’s warm golden with a huge, creamy and lasting head. The aroma has notes of malt, alcohol and light fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, alcohol, light fruit and caramel and the alcohol is also a clear note in the finish.
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. MAlt aroma with some flowers, very springlike. Clear light amber colour with white head. Sweet flavour, slightly fruity. Low to moderate carbonation. Refreshing but not surprising despite the quote about attending a battle where the enemy already has left the battlefield. There are no battles in this brew, but a nice peaceful aroma of flowers.
1.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Medium golden body. Small white head. Light alcohol-like aroma, and some other unpleasant smell that I can’t describe. Heavy malty flavour, dry sweet alcohol flavour. Some soap too. Not very pleasant bitter finish. (Påland, 14.07.09)
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
330ml bottle (Systembolaget, Stockholm)
Rich amber, brief head. Metallic and slightly sweet aroma, also some
pencil sharpenings. Soft carbonation, smooth palate, some sweet fruity
esters in the retronasals, accompanied by what is initially quite a
simple malty bocky taste. Alas very quickly a massive wave of pencil
sharpenings kicks in, and I mean total and utter pencil sharpenings,
nothing more - yikes. Finish has a reasonable roast, and a dry
bitterness, with some harking back to the pencil sharpenings. Better
than I was expecting, and nearly worthy of the name bock. In the end,
it’s perhaps more of an malt-heavy ESL.

AP:Brown metallic, heavy head
AR:
F: Fudge, brule pudding, bitterness, nutty, honey, alcohol (covering the spirits to 95% - storing needed?)
AF: some caramel, and bitterness! Wonder why all was so negative towards this that were the better one of two to Arboga that were released at the same date!
