omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Nov 24, 2007 Draught at MacKinley’s Inn, Stockholm. Clear dark ruby,majestic head. Aroma of hay and dates. Fairly sweet with solid, malty body, a fair amount of hay- and flower-like English style hops dries it out. The malt profile is chewy, but rather clean. Resiny bitter finish. A well balanced beer with nice flavours - I’d still like the malt to be a bit softer to get more out of it
