500 ml bottle. First edition. Black. Small coarse head. Vinegary aroma balanced by nice mellow roasted malts. Reminds me a little about Haandbakk, but not that sharp. The acidity is quite distinct and somewhat sharp and unpleasant. Very low carbonation level. Overall there is way too much acidity and vinegar for this beer to be perceived as pleasant.

Jan 1, 2010 Bottle at home .... really not sure about this ... deep black ... thin lacing ... funky sour nose ... is this barrel ageing or has it turned ... again a short sourness... almost lambic like rather that a porter ...some red wine tones ... not really working for me...

Dec 20, 2009 From bottle at Bishops Arms, Järntorget.
Dark brown colour with low beige head. Fennel, aquavit and dark malts in aroma. Medium bodied with chocolate, mint and dark malts, bit toasty. Warming from higher alcohols. Bit brown malt and green, maybe dill. Not much acidity in my sample. Low bitterness. Really balanced.

Nov 7, 2009 Bottle, bought @ De Molen.
Pours almost completely black with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has oak, vinousness, light tartness, well roasted and fairly sweet. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour has oak and quite an acidic edge. Roasted, a bit of chocolate. Raisins, oak and viniousness. Okay, but quite a lot of tartness.
