(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.

<i>Bottled.</i> Very dark brown, coarse head. Appley smokey aroma. The bog myrtle is hidden behind a wealth of appley fruityness and smoke making it surprisingly similar to a Gotlandsdricke. It has medium body and soft mouthfeel as well as herbal bitterness in the finish. This beer feels very medieval, and it would be made great justice served from ceramic mugs at a medieval restaurant.

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.
