<i>Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. </i> Clear nut brown. Sweet and caramelly. Blown up cookie malt form a midsized body with clean edges. Toffee is more or less the one flavour. Finishes with fairly low bitterness. A beer with a pleasant surface, but no depth and no resemblance to the style it’s marketed as.

On tap at the Red Wave Inn. Pours darker than expected with a nice fluffy head. tasted very bland before warming up. warming up lent a lot more toffee flavor and sweet malts. creamy body. still a little too bland, i was expecting a hoppy rendition since it’s SN but this was very balanced.

Good stuff. Has a nice brownish color to it. Has hints of malts and hops. Has nice flavor complimented with hops and malts. Nice aftertaste in the end as well.

Beautiful deep amber pour with a thin eggshell colored head. The nose is subtly sweet malt. The flavor is more complex, with light smoke and a nice bready finish.

Sweet with cherry flavor that fades into oak-ey alcohol maltiness. Great color and wonderful malt. Visually awesome burnt red when you hold it to the light. The malt really shines in this one, a wonderful Oktoberfest.
