Bottle. Dark brown with beige head. Had this one on the attic for a while and it might been improved. A bit dry, chocolate aroma. Thin but better than most with the Mariestads brand. The aftertaste is a bit dry, low on hops. Not bad overall. It might win more on storage.

Dark red porter with a very small head. Aroma is of roasted malt, coffee a little hoppy. The flavour is lightly sweet and quite burned with some bitterness. Quite light but not bad.

Jun 10, 2008 Bottled, 2008. Dark brown, thick small-bubbled beige head descending quickly. Good, chocolate mud-cake aroma with burntness. The taste is surprisingly harsh when cold! It bites (?). Ah, what a pleasant surprise! Very oily, tar and charcoal might describe the taste somehow. Not the typical porter I’d say.
Svesse (1499), Hässelby, Sweden
Jun 1, 2008 (Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black, with frothy lasting pale brown head. Roasted, malty nose with dark rye bread, dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Roasted, almost burnt, malty taste with dark chocolate, dark rye bread, prunes and cocoa bitterness in the finish. Tasty, with rather heavy roasted flavours. Might age well. Nice beer.
