Bottle, bought @ Systembolaget, Hyltebruk.
Clear dark amber with a fine, small, creamy, beige head. Soft malty aroma, light caramel, light vinious. Medium carbonation, fair lightly dry mouthfeel. Flavour is mildly metallic, some caramel, a bit toasted, quite sweet. Not impressive.

0.5 L bottle from Systembolaget. Big, foamy, lightly tanned head, quickly shrinking to a layer of tiny bubbles. Body is well cabonated, brilliant dark reddish brown. Modest aroma of soft, toasted dark malts, an apple-ish fruit note, and som barely noticable dusty and straw-like hops. Taste has a light caramelly malt profile. Medium sweet with an underlying sour note. Hint of spices and earthy hops. Alcohol well hidden. Smooth in the mouth and quite well-bodied. Sourish-sweet malt ending. A decent one that goes well down.

Bottle. Frothy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark red-orange colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter nice flavor. Average light bitter finish. Oily palate. Well-balanced.

Medium offwhite head. Deep red body with light carbonation. Fruity spicy aroma with licorice and toffee notes. Dryish-sweetish papery spicy malty roasty licorice taste with spicy cocos notes. Smooth, mild mouthfeel. Full body. Dry malty roasty cocos aftertaste. Nice, and highly drinkable. (0.5l bottle, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)
