Svesse (1621), Hässelby, Sweden Dec 4, 2006 (Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 1 Aug) Mahogany colour with almost no head. Fruity nose with notes of dried fruit and raisins. Fruity taste with dried fruit, black-currant and blackberries. Blueberries and some hops in the finish. Goes down, but hardly exciting. maeib (3917), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Oct 14, 2006 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Oxford BF. A dark brown coloured beer. The aroma is malty with berry fruits and a fair amount of sweetness. The taste is sweet and fruity but a tad cloying and artificial. A little complicated maybe?
