2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Svesse (4215) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - JAN 5, 2009
(Canned) Very dark brown, almost black, with creamy, pale brown head. Roasted, malty nose with milky chocolate, cocoa, dark bread and hints of ashes or smoke. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark bread, chocolate, coffee and dried fruit. Mainly dry, fairly thin body. Rather low bitterness with some cocoa shining through in the finish. Definitely a decent low abv version. In short: thin stout with dark chocolate, dark bread and a hint of smoke.

Pours dark brown/reddish colour with a mediumsized head. The first impression is dominated by watery mouthfeel which has an adverse effect on the whole drinking experience. Aroma is sweetish having roasted malts. Notes of smoke and coffee.
