Vintage 2001 - expired 07/01.
Muddy brown colored with a thin disappearing tan head. Very full and heavy aroma with penetrating notes of chocolate and caramel. Somewhat vinous with notes of fruit also. Flavor is mostly sweet but with a bitter end. Chocolate, malt, earth, nut and spices. Little harsh with tones of cellar. Good taste, but quite extreme and heavy. Shows signs from the age but still very interesting.

Slightly cloudy, light brown color. Malt aroma. Some bitterness, but mostly malt on the flavor. Dry finish. Good Beer.

Malty, full-bodied & flavour-full. Long, nice bitter finish.

Deep red-amber colour, head doesn’t last long. Slightly rich, syruppy, sweet, but none of these are cloyingly so. A bit of berry fruits and hints of spice at the front, quite malty, and the finish is short to medium in length, which isn’t a bad thing at all, a very well made beer.

Not a very strong aroma with light caramel, light pine. Dark amber, white frothy head which diminishes fast and leaves no lacing. Sweet, good hops with a little perfume taste. Full body. Long sticky finish, sparkling and hoppy.

Re-rate 2002-03-20: Sampled cask conditioned. Dark amber. Very fruity. Rather sweet, and indeed full bodied. Nice maltiness and long, complex somewhat citric bitter hoppy finish. Like always a very good brew from Jämtlands Bryggeri, and a cask conditioned experimentally hopped strongish dark lager isn’t exactly what you get served any day. This stuff is interesting.

red-brown colour, few head, deep malt aroma, smoked bacon, sweet, full with a dry finish

Chestnut hue; bready, toast-like; caramel malt present; the light chocolate note found in pretty much all Jamtlands beers is here as well.
