Draught at Bishops Arms, Järntorget Göteborg. Dark brown colour with a persistent head. Milk up front in aroma, followed by malty toastiness. Texture is pretty creamy with toasty notes along with juniper berries and a subtle milky backbone. Coffee in the finish. The beer is more fruity than the regular dry stout and that adds to the character. Long lingering balanced bitterness.
