Bottle from systembolaget, Christmas beer tasting. Helsingborg, November 2011.
Malty, slightly sweet aromas of grains and bread. Some caramel notes. Rich and quite full taste with a medium body. Some sweetness but also flavours of spicy malt and a light bitterness. Not to bad.

Mörkbrunt öl med vitt, långvarigt skum. Dofter av frukt och karamell, smaker av desamma samt vanilj och honung. En god öl till julmaten, lagom sött, lagom beskt för sillen och skinkan.

bottle - dark brown body with an off white head - caramel and a light fruity nose - medium caramel flavour with some fruity notes

Bottle, bought @ Systembolaget, Hyltebruk. [thanks Lone]
Pours deep chestnut with a small, creamy, beige film head. Sweet aroma with caramel, lightly toasted, mild chocolate. Highish carbonation, kinda spritzy, fairly light mouthfeel. Flavour has a good deal of metal at first, dry maltiness, some liqourice and chocolate. Fine malty bitter finish. Okay, shame about the metallic notes that detract.
