Oct 5, 2006 courtesy of Per - very dark brown colour with a little foam; rich and solid biscuity maltiness with notes of raisins and prune underneath; some initial sweetness, full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel and a fair bitterness; long malty aftertaste with notes of wood and prunes - a beautiful and very tasty beer !

Comments: Best before December 2006. And age was not apparent at all. This was a beautiful firm-bodied ale with fully extracted, complex English marries otter malts. In line with Jamtlands’ regular excellence. I just adore that brewery.
