Draught at the brewpub. Black beer with a small beige head. Malty toffee aroma, diacetyl, cookie dough, nuts, sugary, caramel, some swwet chocolate. Sugary flavor, cookie dough, fruity, very, very sweet. Interesting experiment, but way too sweet.

(Draught at Monk’s Porterhouse, Stockholm) Black colour with dense, beige head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, dark bread and burnt sugar. Malty taste with caramel, dark bread, raisins, wort, brown sugar and a sweet finish with a touch of cola and a mild bitterness. Medium body, fairly sweet. Definitely no hop bomb, but quite heavy on the malt side. Interesting and quite nice.

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy mahogany colour, small head. Aroma of cane sugar and slight spicy hops. Really sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel and medium body. A bit sticky, heavy on sugar, but still interesting to see a revival of an old beer style.
