Ljunkan (379), Karlstad, Sweden May 6, 2009 Bottle at Bishops Arms, Karlstad.
Pours a deep brown color with a dying head. Not sure how old this bottle is, but I guess it has been standing for a while at least. Aroma is vinous, fruity and malty with notes of caramel and dried plums. Flavour is sweet, fruity and quite vinous. There’s notes of dried plums, raisins and caramel. Mediumbodied mouthfeel, quite smooth, and the carbonation is low. Very nice sipper, maybe just a bit too sweet overall. ogreface (291), Budapest, Hungary May 5, 2009 Felhős,vörösesbarna színű sör vékony gyorsan apadó habbal.Illata mazsolás,gyümölcsös.Ízében érezni egy kis karamellát,aszalt gyümölcsös süteményt és a komló kesernyésségét az alkohol édességével és melegségével.Utóíze pörkölt malátás,keserédes,enyhén száraz.Kellemes lefekvés előtti ital a szép álmokért. tarheels86 (700), Washington DC, USA May 4, 2009 750 mL from Raleigh WBF.
