Närke Anders Göranssons Bästa Rököl

A hazy amber beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is nice tar and smoke one. The flavor is smoked with notes of malt, tar, medicin, and vegetables. Nice one, though the body is a little thin. Thanks to the brewery for supplying this free of charge to RBESG.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark ruby, very small head. Strong Gotlandsdricke-like juniper smokey aroma. Sweetish with notes of honey Near full bodied with clean mouthfeel. Like a cleaner, carbonated more well organized Gotlandsdricke. Many seem to prefer this winter version to their regular Rököl, but I find it a bit heavy on the honey.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. The second beer already this year made from Mackmyra smoked malt, this one’s top fermented I believe. Mahogany colour, creamy head, somewhat hazy. Strong peaty whiskey-like smokey nose. Full bodied with rich, vinous malt character, heavily woody/smokey. Surprisingly dry. Grassy, tarry finish. A fantastic attention grabber!

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, chestnut coloured with a small, coarse head. Extremely smoky aroma. Sort of light-bodied, roasted malt - but the smoke dominate completely. 120805
