3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330ml bottle (Systembolaget)
Very dark brown, persistent baige head. Sweet roasted malty aroma, some whisky butter too, and a touch spicy. Smoky and sweet in the mouth. Retronasally, some butter too, and a touch of alcohol. Not full enough bodied, and in fact quite thin for a stout. Some diacetyl spoils it. Just falls short in most respects, but is pretty drinkable.

Flaske, karamelbrun, ligner en brown ale med beige farvet skum. Duft af alkohol, støvet, træ, whiskey. Smager af askebæger og bål, brændt træ og overmodne frugter. Fy for den.

Malty, roasted taste with notes of tar, liquorice, chocolate, honey and lots of wood in the finish. Medium body, not overly sweet.
