A fair beer. A lager with extra flavor and aroma. A nice color. Lacks some biterness.

(500 ml bottle). Reddish brown colour, decent head. A drinkable dunkel, not outstanding but decent for a Swedish commercial brewer. Good with food.

Pretty tasty everyday beer. Dark lager with a faint malt flavor and bitterness.

Big offwhite head. Lovely chestnut brown body. Papery, grassy aroma with caramelly notes. Dry, papery caramelly taste with grainy, metallic notes. Dry, metallic, rubbery caramel aftertaste, a bit unpleasant. Partly good, but the underlying rubbery taste rather spoils it for me. (0.5l can from Systembolaget.)

The colour is clear, brown with a little hint of red. The foam is very pale beige and quite small, it dissolves into an almost invisible lid. The smell is very malty with a burned touch. There are also some hints of dried vegetables. The carbonation is fresh and quite strong with lots of medium-sized bubbles. The mouthfeel is refreshing. A burned note of malt dominates the taste with a dry bitterness. There must be some caramel malt in there. The aftertaste got a touch of some shady hops and some sweetness and some fruits. Frankly, the aftertaste is surprisingly short. This is a fine example of the “bayersk” (Bravarian) style, the only alternative to pilsner you could get in Sweden during the early 20th century. A little darker, a little more malt with a little more body.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very pretty dark golden - almost amber - with a nice, frothy head. Fresh, hoppy nose. Rather light-bodied and highly drinkable. Some weak notes of smoke and a distinct - if not exactly overpowering - bitter finish. Very well made. Vienna rather than Dunkel. 151000

Nice golden color, lots of bubbles. Aroma from almond, some toffee. Has a bitter but also sweet flavor.

Bottle - 500ml. Dark amber body topped with a good white frothy head. Fair malty aroma with some bready hints. Taste is dominated by hops, and has some brown sugar hints. Short bittersweet finish. Ordinary...

Excellent texture and colour. A sweet mild taste with a hint of rosted candy. A mild but ok aftertaste.

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2003 Not bad, but i hope that it would taste more. A little bitter in the finish.
