Bottle. Opaque black liquid with a thick, medium to big sized mocha head. Nice lacing. Aroma of fresh ground coffee, dark fruit, ash, bitter chocolate, bread, smoke and some sweet alcohol. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter with notes of coffee, piney hops and light ash. Medium to full bodied with medium carbonation. Not flat as last year’s version. This one’s actually really good. Nice going.

Smak och doft av choklad, malt, laktris, torkad frukt, kaffe och en aning vanilj. Oljig i konsistens, lagom söt och med en lagom beska. Rund och fin.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle). Fresh and delicious aroma of roasted coffee and dark chocolate with hints of smoke, fruits, orange and hops. Dry and sweet taste of coffee, roasted malt and dark chocolate with a distinct but quite soft hops bitterness in the finish. I like the dry tone from the oats. The alcohol of 8% is well hidden. A nice and tasty beer! And extremely much more enjoyable than the 2011 version!

Det står på flaskan, klart och tydligt; ölet vinner på lagring, men ändå så sitter man här mindre än två veckor efter att den kom ut ’och kan inte hålla sig’, smart! Å andra sidan är ölen riktigt bra redan nu så det ska bli intressant och se hur väl den kommer smaka i framtiden. Kroppen är stabil och jag upplever den som relativt välbalanserad, smaken bär toner av kaffe, choklad, torkad frukt och lite lakrits. Slutsats: det var kanske dumt att dricka den såhär tidigt men den var bra god ändå.

I think I’ll faint. After the first sip, I thought I was in heaven. Smells good and a strong scent, tastes great and some dryness but are disappearing fast. The aftertaste is left long, long time. I think that it’s just Stenkvista Stout from Eskilstuna Ölkultur that is better. I drank a 2011 last year and it was absolutely wonderful. Now I just enjoy. Buy this now!
