Bottle: Ruby black, tan head and light lacing. Nose of subtle roast, light sulfur and copper. The flavor is chewy, fairly dry and not much as far as a little fruity esters. Bland lagery and not enough roast. Fairly clean though.

Jul 17, 2008 (Sampled 7-5-08) Bottle poured into shaker- poured dark ruby red that was transparent, razor thin head hung around for a few minutes but had to go back home, thin aroma of a light roasted malt, weak coffee, and small hops. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt comes through cleanly, cream in the middle, very light hop finish. Not bad, not bad at all.

Jul 7, 2008 Can (500ml). Poured a deep ruby black with a frothy/creamy, averaged sized, tanned head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of sweetish, lightly roasted malts with notes of aniseed, caramel, milk chocolate, prunes and a hint of coffee. Flavor was similar to aroma with virtually no bitterness, sweet lightly roasted malts, caramel, milk chocolate, dates and a hint of creamy coffee. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry/creamy mouthfeel and an ok finish.
Not bad just not that memorable.

Jul 1, 2008 Draught @ Albatros Prague. Thick large off-white creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Somewhat clear sparkling body with a mahogany color. Aroma of light roasted malt, hint of citrus, some butterscotch and nice underlying mild hoppy notes. Light bodied with an average carbonation and light thin texture. Light sweet malty flavor with a hint of bitterness. Light roasted malty finish.

Jun 26, 2008 Bought at ICA grocery store in Visby, Gotland, Sweden.
Pours a very dark ruby brown with 2 cm dark tan head.
Smells very malty sweet, with wet grain, grass and a touch of burnt popcorn.
Very smooth mouthfeel--ever-so-slightly thick and with low carbonation.
The taste is an immediate dose of roasted malt, albeit very toned-down (I have a feeling this is because this is the 3.5% version for the Swedish market outside of Systembolaget stores), a touch of lemon. Overall, not as sweet as it smells. The aftertaste is very much unsweetened cocoa.
Overall, not bad, but I think I’d prefer the full-on Systembolaget version.

Jun 26, 2008 for a low alc. beer this is great - if i judge by taste i found this a bti smokey, licorice, darkish, but not really especially tasty. Probably the low alc. still the best low alc of this style i’ve had (i think).
