| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 23, 2009 330ml bottle at Monks Café, Wallingatan. Slightly brownish head filled with lots of small dimples. A reddish tint to a very dark brown body. Rather inviting mid-sweet aroma of earthy malts and dark fruits. Sweet, and a bit diluted caramel malts in flavour added by brown sugar. Has got its moments, but gets too sweet and unvaried after a while. A roasted bitterness is almost missing (Stockholm, 01.09.2009).

Slightly hazy, dark brown amber body with a quick light tan foamy head. Woody fruit raisin malt flavour with a heavy smoky finish and long sweet aftertaste. Medium-full body is thin. Fair but smoky and a little boring.
