Jämtlands Heaven

Brewed by Jämtlands Bryggeri
Style: Schwarzbier
Pilgrimstad, Sweden

Draught (Stockholm Beer Festival 2009) - Dark brown with lively carbonation. Fruity aroma with marzipan, raisins and caramel. Fruity taste with raisins, hops and some slightly roasted notes.

Brown colour tan head looks nice. Aroma is roasted but rather weak. Flavour is again roasted and sad to say a bit watery. Carbonation is lively.

(Bottle at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, on 2009-07-29) Deep dark brown and clear. Medium sized and long lasting tan coloured head. Liquorice, chocalate and roastedness in aroma. Medium bodied and dry palate with quite high carbonation. Malts, roastedness, ash, liquorice, chocolate and bitterness in taste. Roastedness and bitterness in aftertaste.

On tap at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Pours a dark brown color with a nice head which remains until the beer is finished. Aroma is roasted with coffee, liquorice, a nice fruitiness and hints of smoke. Flavour is malty with lots of roasted notes, coffee, some light chocolate, and liquorice. A clear Jämtland fruitiness is also prominent. Mediumbodied on the palate, quite smooth. Drinkable and rather sessionable. 6/4/7/3/14=3,4

Rerate: A bit better this time. Very nice schwarz. 7/4/74/15=3,7

50 cl bottle. Clear very dark red with plenty of thick tan head. Aroma is burnt/roasted and mild hops. Taste is also burnt or roasted with a long bitter aftertaste.

50 cl bottle - Dark brown with a brown, big and lasting head as with most schwarzbiers. Big fruity aroma with some hops. Roasty and almost smoked flavor combined with some mild hoppiness. Was expecting more from Jämtlands and its high ratings. More sweetness is to be desired.

Bottle from TBone, thanks!. Deep dark brown color. Mango, caramel and ginger in the aroma. Caramelly sweet flavor with mango, hints of ginger and carrot. Hint of salt in the aftertaste. Tasty dark lager.
