COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Filtered and pasteurised bottle and keg.
"Deep amber in colour, the pale ale optic malts in the brew gives this beer lots of raisin and caramel flavours that leave a satisfying, soothing flavour on the palate."

gnoff (5004) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - DEC 10, 2010
UPDATED: JUL 15, 2011 Draught at Bishops Arms Avenyn, Göteborg, Sweden, on December 9, 2010
Clear dark copper to brown color. Medium sized, lasting, very nice looking tan head. Sweet wort, berry, bready, sugary, also butter scent. Dry, bitter, malt dominated, butter,s ome fruit esters taste. Fairly dry and bitter finish, mixed with some cream in the aftertaste. Fairly soft and smooth mouthfeel. Soft fairly low bitterness.
Started out dry and bitter, but turned more sweet and smooth, I like it.

Draught at Bishops Arms Järntorget, Göteborg, on July 15, 2011
Clear copper color, dense tan head. Malty, bread, caramel, bitter, fruity taste. Bready bitter lingering aftertaste. Medium to moussy mouthfeel, medium high sort of dry bitterness. Chocolate, caramel, sweet, malty, fruity, gooseberry, hoppy scent.
Rather well balanced and drinkable, though for my taste it wouldn’t hurt to have it less bitter, sweeter and with a more full mouthfeel.

Draugh at Old Brick’s Inn, Jyväskylä. Dark amber color with long lasting head. Very caramelly and nutty aroma and flavor with burnt sugar, resiny hops, marmelade like fruity esters and firm late bitterness. Chewy mouthfeel. I not fond of this kind of beers with lots of dark caramel.

womencantsail (3934) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - SEP 10, 2010
A: The pour is a golden amber color with a finger’s worth of creamy white head. S: A distinct butterscotch aroma along with lots of sweet caramel malts. Also a bit of a fruit note and sugar. T: There is a strange fruitiness to this beer that I pick up right off the bat, yet I’m not quite able to identify what it is. Quite sweet and heavy on the caramel and toffee with notes of butter (diacetyl) and bread. M: Medium in both body and carbonation. D: Not something I’d really be interested in having again. Much to sweet and a very strange flavor that I’m not entirely sure I enjoyed.
