On tap @Macche. It recalls me the taste of a barley wine, to be honest. Bright red colour, medium persistence froth. The malt taste is very present. Strong enough. Medium carbonation. Good job!

On tap at HaandBryggeriet Beer Festival, Drammen. Deep orange to red colour, low head. Strong aroma of peat smoke and juniper smoke. The flavour is dominated by peat smoke and juniper smoke throughout. One-dimensional, not my cup of tea.

Lite lade back rökighet, fin frisk smak och en trevlig fyllighet. En helt ok öl, men jag har glömt den ganska snabbt.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Vignale (899) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 22, 2012
Cask, småbryggeriernas beer festival, Malmö. Another strange experiment beer from Närke. Sweetness from the malts and a little bitterness. So far a double bock. Lots of leather, sligthly smoky, maybe a bit thin but lots of tastes that comes together nicely.
0.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20 BeerSkull (670) - SWEDEN - APR 11, 2012
Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival:
Aroma and taste of smoke, leather, sweaty horse, dung and manure. One among the most disgusting beer I’ve tasted! Pretty much in the same character as "Närke Bäver".
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 2, 2012
Gotlandsdricke! It’s been a while since I’ve had one of these. Amber and slightly hazy. The aroma is heavily smoked with rich caramel. Has a richly smoked character, flat and a little bit phenolic as one would expect from the style. Interesting, a good example of this rare style.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 daknole (5837) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - MAR 14, 2012
Billy Ross just pulled this out and shared it at our pre-hunahpus tasting. Wow! Amber/brown pour. Nice smoke aroma with some toffee background notes. Flavor is charred oak, smoke, caramel. Very nice.
