On-tap. Ölrepubliken Göteborg. Amber colour with an off-white head. Lots of peat smoke and tar, a bit of menthol, sweet caramel malt in the background. Peaty and bitter finish. Well brewed, but I rather drink the original Örebro Bitter.

Draught. Reddish brown with a beige head. Aroma: light smoke, fruit, toffee, chark. Taste: medwurst, peaty, nuts, fruit, toffee, and a light smokiness. Medium-bodied. Nice, not just an interesting experiment.

Tasting@Ölrepubliken 110531. Peated Viking. Pours clear deep mahogany with a creamy light tanned head leaving some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, tary, acidy, slightly salty and bready. Flavor is fruity, roasted, smokey, peated with tones of sweetness. Finishes with a longlived bitter tart smokey aftertaste.

Draught at 3 små rum. Amber color, offwhite head. Malty smoky aroma, alot like smoked fish. Some bitter notes. Flavor brings pretty much the same. Im not the biggest fan och smoked beers, thats for sure.

Draught@Man in the moon. Apperance: Ruby with with a generous head. Aroma: Smoke, Caramel, Hops, Hay. Taste: Smoke, Hops, Citric notes, Caramel, Hay, Wood. Palate: A bit too bitter for my taste and could indeed use a bit more body but despite that quite drinkable and pleasant.

Bottled thx to Molenbrouwer. Clear copper color, short head. Smoked and peated aroma, some hop. Quite bitter taste, nice smokey background, peat. Bit crisp. Very nice.

Bottle@DeMolen. Peated iodine aroma. Copper colour, beige head, good lace. Light sweet, bitter, subtle yet certainly present peat. Clean and flavourful.

Tnx to Molenbrouwer for this little treasure. The aroma is peated, flowery. Clear, amber-brown coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is flowery hoppy, moderate peated, bitter. Ligh-medium bodied beer with a good balance and a refreshing, dry nature. Great!
