Bottle at Bishops Arms, Vasagatan, Stockholm. November 16, 2011.
Clear amber with a minimal head. Very vinous aroma with dried fruit, malt, sugar and toffee. The taste was complex and vinous, very pleasant beer to sip. I liked the big body and almost syrupy mouth feel. I wonder how old the bottle was?

Smells really alcoholly with figs raisons and a little roast. Sits thick in its glass with a copper tone. Figgy roasted deep in body. Almost like a port sits kinda rigid in my mouth kinda odd. But really good.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
7/24/11. Small bottle courtesy joes. Creamy brown flavor with a small frothy head that lasts. Fruity aroma with caramel, some wet cardboard, and a solid dose of alcohol. Sweeter flavor, very much like an old ale. Dark fruits, bitter, earthy hops, a touch of roast and oxidation. Nice!
