jhagmar (48), Gothenburg, Sweden May 10, 2008 Thanks to ekstedt & friends. Copper with an offwhite head. Malty fudge aroma. Bitter with an even more bitter aftertaste. Somewhat dry mouthfeel. Light carbonation. Goodgrief (960), Middletown, Delaware, USA May 9, 2008 Beer pours deep amber color with some head. The aroma is caramel and diacetyl. The flavor was a rich and complex blend of toasty bready malts, sweet caramel malts, spices and even a little grassiness. There was that butteriness, too, that wasn’t flattering and kept the beer from really being clean. A bitter hop finish attempted to balance things out, but not sure it succeeded. All in all, a pretty good example of the style. mybestfriend (185), Gothenburg, Sweden May 9, 2008 Updated: May 11, 2008Bottle. Pours a dark amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of dried fruit, (a bit buttery) fudge, caramel and sweet liquorice. Flavour is dried fruits, caramel, toffee and liquorice. In the finish I get some salty liquorice (it is rather salty!). With a nice bitterness. Good one! The_Epeeist (810), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA May 8, 2008 16.9 oz bottle. Clear pink brown with a whipped ivory head. Nose of caramel, hay and lemon candies. Medium body with a sharp carb tang. Taste is caramel and raisin then bitter and grassy; a little sticky. Well made but not so complex. drewsbrew (7), St. Louis, Missouri, USA does not count May 3, 2008 Rusty amber in color with a woodsy sweet, nutty and cocoa aroma. Chocolate hazelnut and caramel flavors.
