May 15, 2008
Draft at Bishops Arms Västerås. Other than the fact that the beer was (as usual) served alarmingly cold - requiring me to sit there looking like an escapee from the local loony bin ’praying’ with the glass in my hands for a good 20 minutes - this has all the standard characteristics of a stout. Sweet stouts however are not my favourite expression of this syle - the lactic flavours make me suspicious that someone has slipped one of those cheap coffee creamers you get at hotels or on aeroplanes into my beer.

Oct 7, 2008 courtesy of Per - clear dark brown colour with a rubish hue; little elusive beige foam; aroma of milk coffee and ashes; the palate is a bit harsh, quite light-bodied; moderately dry and quite thin aftertaste of cold coffee
