Draught @ Ardbeg Embassy, Stockholm

Originally rated on 05.10.2012 - Pours dark orange with a foamy head. Malty and slightly fruity aroma with notes of hops and grass. Taste is again quite malty with mild grassy notes. Finish is grassy and malty with notes of hops. Okay, quite malty oktoberfestbier

Bottle. Lovely mahogny color. Malty, burned sugar, true to type, some nic3e use of hops, too. To be consumed in huge glasses with a singalong - this fails to excite me.

50 cl bottle from Systembolaget. BB Feb 13, sampled on October 4, 2012
Clear copper to brown color, big lasting off-white to tan head. Malty, grainy, caramel, some weak fruity scent. Malty, caramel, fruity, a bit astringent taste. Bitter, astringent, herbal aftertaste. Medium to smooth, though also low co2, mouthfeel. Medium to medium high bitterness. Finishes fairly dry, though with hints of malt.

Bottled from Systembolaget Deep amber with a frothy head. Toffee, grass, wormwood and some medicine/solvent in the aroma. Very sweet flavour; brown sugar, molasses. Too sweet. Pretty light and late bitterness.

Big tan head. Clear amber body. Strange meaty rubbery aroma with sugary caramelly notes. Dry-sweet smoky grainy roasty taste with rubbery notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dryish earthy smoky caramelly aftertaste with fruity notes. Strawy and grassy, too. It’s really close to being a great smoke beer, but fails in some way I can’t quite put my finger on. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Nordstan, Göteborg.)

Bottle (50 cl) from Systembolaget. Clear amber, medium off-white head. Earthy, grainy and slightly nutty malt aroma, perfumy and piney hops. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Dry with a very atypical medium to high bitterness. Not very much oktoberfest going on here.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Clear red with a small off-white head. Aroma is weak with roasted malts, some hops leaning towards bitter orange. Taste is crispy, malty, hard bread.

Bottle 50cl. A clear amber colour with a medium high tan head. An aroma of toasted malt, bread, citrus and hops. The taste is medium sweet and light bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and a medium long bready duration.

Draught at Bishops Arms Gustav. Clear orange-red coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Sweet and malty aroma of caramel, hops and grass with notes of licorice. Fruity flavour of malts and caramel with notes of hops and grass. Hoppy finish.

From tap at Bishops Arms. Pours clear and golden deep amber to orange with a small tan head. Aroma is fruity, toasted malty and crisp hoppy. Fruity, bitter and crisp hoppy. Sweet and mild fruity. Bitter and citrusy finish.
