Bottle from Systembolaget, Stockholm, Sweden. Aroma is very sweet, very pleasant with some tropical fruit mixed in with the honey. Pours a nice dark amber, slightly reddish with a thick foam. Taste is sweet with a medium bitterness, extremely well balanced and feels thick on the palate. This is a great beer to drink while being all relaxed, just sitting there, sipping it, I really enjoyed it.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 mikey (448) - farmington, Utah, USA - MAR 5, 2012
The nose has some honey sweetness with a spice, boozy, yeasty, fruitiness. The taste is slightly sweet and malty up front, there’s a nice lingering spicy hop profile that lingers on through the finish keeping it balanced. Honey is only faintly noticed and there is definitely a nuttiness. Not sure exactly what to make this beer, it’s very flavorful but muddled. Not sure if it’s the hops or combination of the unique ingredients being used.
