Mar 5, 2007 Pours a dark red/brown with a rocky whitish head. Nice toffee, and cotton candi tyoe sugary sweet nose. Great creamy spicy mouthfeel with a great toffee sweetness. I like this beer, but not as good as many others.

Mar 2, 2007 Updated: Feb 9, 2009Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget. Dark reddish brown, somewhat hazy, with a medium short-lasting beige head. Big, malty aroma with dried fruits, dark bread, roasted wood, herbal hops, and yeast. Medium bodied and good carbonation. Very dry and bitter finish. Really good.

Mar 1, 2007 Sampled out of the big bottle. Very nice brew. Poured it into a proper Brugge glass, and it frothed to a proper cloudy appearance and settled to a thick head. Went down very smoothly with proper amounts of hops and spices. Truly a world class beer but not quite as good at the 10.

Feb 25, 2007 Bottle, Chef Paul’s, suburbs of Chicago. Was a bit disappointed with this, nothing really stood out at all for me. Not unpleasant, but non-descript overall. Way more interesting ones out there.

Clear dark brown color, lasting fluffy tan head. Fresh minty and fruity scent with some roasted tones. Sweet chocolate and sugary sirup taste with lots of fruit and some yeast. Smooth mouthfeel and medium bitterness. Roasted aftertaste. This bottle has probably been aged quite a bit. Nice!
