4/5 in darkness. Smells caramell malty. Creamy, cinnemon, malty and bitter in the taste with a similar finish.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 3, 2008
Draft at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. An unclear dark amber beer with a huge tan head. The aroma is very citrusy combined with light notes of smoke and flowers. The flavor is sweet with a burnt edge that gives the beer hints of plastic and acidity - I guess some kind of infection.

gnoff (5004) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - SEP 23, 2007
(Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007) Labeled 5.2%. Shady brown color, fluffy tan head. Fruity hoppy and "Myrica gale" scent. Fruity and hoppy taste. Rather thin mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - DEC 28, 2006
Draught. Sourish aroma, a little smoked. The flavour is malty and smoked with a bit of sewer. Low carbonation.

Svesse (4389) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - OCT 1, 2006
(Draught, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep) Dark brown colour, slightly hazy, small off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of berries (blueberries) and a spicy character of bog myrtle. Malty taste with chocolate and dark fruit. Initial sweetness gives away for a drier finish with a distinct spicy taste of bog myrtle (leaning a bit towards wormwood in taste, but slightly sweeter). Interesting and tasty.

TBone (9414) - Pori, FINLAND - OCT 3, 2005
Bottled, alc. 4-4.5%
Hazy dark nut brown, small brownish head. Spicey and smokey nose, maybe cloves (later note: must be a bog myrtle). Spicey, sweetish, christmas beer like brew. Tar and smoke in the flavor. A bit thin, but otherwise quite interesting "ancient" brew.

oh6gdx (16047) - Vasa, FINLAND - OCT 3, 2005
Bottled. Dark amber colour, mediumsized brown head. Smoky/roasted hops in aroma. Sweetish bitter flavour with roasted hints. Also hints of tar and caramel. Good balance.
