3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Was an ESB, I'm told, but now the label says "Strong Pale Ale"--and the taste reflects the average of the two. Hoppy complexion, but mild with some odd elements in the end. Decent bitter end.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Amber brown with a rather dull head. This beer is more English than many ales from England. Strong bready and caramelly malt, toffee, raisins, strawberries and ripe apples, a hint of butterscotch and strong hops - citrusy, floral and resiny. Quaffable just as it should be, with a full malty body, fruity-caramelly flavour and a moderately strong, earthy and resiny bitterness. What more could you want from an English ale? Nicely done!

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours clear dark amber with a big creamy off-white head. Aroma of nutty malts, faint hops in the background. Taste is light burnt and roasted malts, sweet caramel, with a good bitter and chewy end. Good beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Deep coppery amber body, small off-white head. Nose is grainy caramel malt tones, bubble gum and hints of nuts. Taste is caramel, toast, bubble gum, hints of cellar must and malt sugars. Easy-going, light palate. Very drinkable, but a bit sweet. A pretty decent ESB.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Rather smokey and roasty, full flavoured and distinctly British hopwise. Looks murky and is brownish in colour.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
An old favorite since 15 years, but quite some time since last. Pours reddish brown, dense high foam. Honey aroma. Rather sweet, roasted taste, hints of chocolate. Malty, moderate bitterness. Soon disappearing from standard range at Systembolaget, therefore needed to sample it again.

Nu är jag kanske part i målet eftersom jag är jämtlänning och före detta brevbärare, men jag tar mig ändå friheten att döma Jämtlands Postiljon till livstids närvaro i mitt barskåp. Den har haft uppenbart uppsåt och inte visat någon som helst hänsyn när den levererat smakupplevelser. Domen kan inte överklagas.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mycket trevlig arom av honung, vanilj och fruktighet. I smaken finner man även där honung men också grapefrukt. För ett ännu högre betyg hade den behövt större tyngd, nu är den något tunn i eftersmaken. Men jag lär säkert köpa den igen, för den var på det stora hela inte dum alls.
