Sep 6, 2008 Bottle (35 cl) at Haket, Göteborg, Sweden. Shady mahogny with a large yellow/beige head. Malty and caramelly, with piney and citric hops, and clear note of alcohol (11.5 % abv according to the label). Well balanced. Would certainly gain from less alcohol content.

Sep 6, 2008 Nice creamy beige coloured head. A dark cobber brown colour with small particles. Suberb grapefruitty nose. Sweet malty taste at beginning. A very strong hoppiness. A real thirst maker :-). Quite strong alcohol content.

Sep 5, 2008 Smell is floral and resinous. Dark copper/amber pour with a luxuriously thick head, very nice. Wow, the flavor is very smooth all the way through for aa 10.5% beer. Nice malt backbone balanced by a high, but not over the top hoppiness. You can feel the alcohol presence in the mouthfeel, which is nice but not overpowering. Great beer.
