3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
500mL bottle, courtesy of blomster. Thanks, Christer! Pours clear, somewhere between a dark tan and a light cola color; light-tan head with solid retention and persistent lacing. The aroma is malt-forward, showing toffee and cola and hints of darker caramel, with the hop character seeming on the periphery of the nose: minerals, earthiness, present but the opposite of assertive citrus. A perfect presence in the mouth: well-attenuated maltiness, rich caramel and toffee and a nuttiness without being cloying; the core bitterness shows through more than the aroma suggests: mineral and earthy, with a robust floral quality that wasn’t overt in the nose. Medium-high CO2, medium to medium-light body, and just a nice balance between restrained malts and English-style hopping. Yum. There’s even a soft hint of smokiness or darker roast towards the finish; ends nicely bitter and on the dry side, with a hint of tea.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ml bottle bought @ Systembolaget. Pours dark amber with an off-white head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of lacing on the glass. Smell is malty and slightly sweet with dark bread, soup stock, herbs and coffee. Taste is malty, floral and bitter with dark bread, caramel, coffee, some metal, thyme and other herbs. Finish is rather dry, malty and bitter.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours copper, with a off white. somewhat golden, head. The hops in the aroma has a classic herbal, pilsener-like charcter. Notes of coffee aswell. Taste is very well balanced. Toffee and coffe at the start, and some bitter herbal, and quite flowery, hops in the finish. Quite dry in the aftertaste, in the way of really dark bread or coffee. Highly drinkable and refreshing.
