Strongroom festival. A fat, un-nuanced alcohol whiff and some sweetness and nut much else. Not golder as such but mid brown. Flat and syrupy, the alcohol so dominates that it’s not very pleasant, tastes like Eastern European tramp beer.

Cask at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö, Gustav Adolf Torg
Beautiful amber color, the head from the sprinkler is short lived. Mild caramel aroma and more pronounced caramel flavor; it has a moderate nuttiness, and correct bitterness; give it some time, and it will show some silky liquor esters too in the aroma, subtle.
A good beer, but not as rich as it should be; not enough malty.

Cast. Dark amber clear. Sweetish caramel, light english earthy, woody hops. Medium bodied, sweet caramel malty. A bit boozy. Some darker, sweetish fruity flavours along the lines of raisins and dark syrup. A bit of yeast. A strong sweet malty ale. A bit too dark, condensed for me.
