UPDATED: SEP 27, 2011 I suspect the beer at the festival 2010 called "Kaggen Stormaktsporter 2009 Swedish Oak Barrel 9.6% (Keg)" is this one, so gonna put my rating here. Tap. Dark, pitch black, nice light brown head, should maybe hold a bit longer. Smell is sweet coffee and red fruits, very nice spiced. Good smell for sure. Sour-sweet coffee and chocolat, caramel, heavy beer, but very good beer. Love it for sure.

Tasted at the first, great, Borefts Beer Festival 2009 @ De Molen. Black colored brew. Vanilla, roasted aroma. Flavor is roasted malts,chocolate, oak, some dark fruits. The oak makes it a bit less flavorfull, still very, very good.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught at Örebro Öl- och Whiskeyfestival. Very black, small beige head. Aroma of licorice and oak. Mid-sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Mouthfilling flavour of coffee and licorice, somewhat oily with well hidden alcohol. The same velvetty softness as other Kaggen, but quite different oaky flavours.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2009 On tap at Örebro Öl & Whisky Festival. Black color, small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, wood, vanilla, honey. Flavour is more clearly woody, less complex version than the regular Kaggen, though with some great chocolate, vanilla and honey flavours also found in the regular Kaggen. Velvety smooth mouthfeel. Balanced, and very nice to drink and sip on in small amounts. I think this is good but I tasted the regular Kaggen side by side thanks to a guy a met there, and this wasn’t as good as the original.
