GreatLibations (1241), Sasquatcho, Arizona, USA Mar 6, 2008 Pours amber with a tall, semi spritzy froth. Good head retention reducing to a full dusty canopy leaving snail tracks down the glass. Aromas of caramel malted biscuits. Nice! Medium nectar with ample residual effers creating a soft cottony texture. Bright and crisp, this brew is alive. Well integrated flavors of caramel, citrus peel, biscuits, herbs, and a bit of mineral. The finish lingers with perfect bittering. Highly recommended. gnoff (2540), Göteborg, Sweden May 1, 2006 Draught at The Rover in Gothenburg. Even better taste than the bottle. Dark amber to brown color, beige-brown lasting creamy head. Fruity scent and taste. Quite big bitterness, but it fits and is balanced well. Once more though, I like the draught one well better than the bottles Ive had. omhper (10145), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 28, 2002 Reddish brown. Above aevrgare body, complex, almost playful hoppiness, roasty. Bitter finish. As always from this brewery an interesting high quality brew. Hansen (1605), Randers, Denmark Jan 2, 2003 I didn’t thougth that the swedes was able to brew a proper beer. I was wrong. This beer has a fine roasted aroma and taste.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a foamy, bubbly white head.
Smell: Aromatic toasted grain nose with notes of caramelized sugar, flowers, and citrus.
Taste: Sweet, sugar-encrusted grain flavor with a bit of toasted nuts. Hint of flowers. Candied citrus rind with a gentle bitterness. Dry finish with a mild, lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel.
Drinkability: A fine beer thats very drinkable, though, sadly, at $5.10 for a single 11.2oz bottle, its a beer experience I dont see myself often repeating.
