Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pours out in a dark reddish brown colour with a low creamy tan-coloured foam. Malty sweet and a bit spicy aroma of caramel, dark chocolate, burnt bread, sweet licorice and mild pepper in the aroma. Medium-bodied with notes of dark chocolate, fudge, caramel, anise, black pepper, wood and nutshells. Smooth chewy mouthfeel. Long well-balanced finish of caramel, wood, chocolate sauce and spices.

Cask@Pullman’s, Helsinki. Deep amber colour, mediumsized head. Aroma is wooden, mild roast, some caramel and mild nectary notes. Flavour is roasted malts, some caramel, wood and a lot of nectar. Aftertaste is mainly wooden with some mild notes of caramel. Not as good as the bottled one. Had a half pint of it the following day too, when the cask was otherwise similar, but the roasted and chocolaty notes had started growing a bunch, making the cask version almost as good as the bottled one.

Dark ruby, almost opaque color, steady creamy beige head, lace. Toasted chocolaty aroma. Soft palate. Toasted, chocolaty flavor with some licorice in it. A bit sticky finish. Very rounded and enjoyable - on cask it is almost a porter than an old ale.
