Bottled at Bishops Arms, Helsingborg. Almost black coloured. Aroma of liquorice, coffee and ripe fruits. Sweetish fruity notes and roasty bitter notes in the flavour. Medium bodied. A little too many raisins for my likings, but still decent.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle from John’s Market Place in Multnomah Village, Portland, OR--Poured a deep hearty black-brown body with a medium soft grey head. Nose of liquorish, vanilla, milk, mild sourness, chocolate, toffee, and roasted java beans. Great full-on malt spine with bittering hops imparted in finish. Mildly cloying and perhaps a little out-dated (John’s is known for this) but overall, a welcomed companion.
