Commercial Description:
This noble winter beer is brown in colour with flaming red highlights. It has a complex aroma of fruits, alcohol and hops. Its taste is delicately sweet and liquor-like with a hint of burnt caramel. The aftertaste is accentuated by the wonderful flavour of hops.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear deep ruby, creamy head. Caramelly nose with some dried fruits. Full bodied. Balanced between grassy hops, caramelly malt and arousing alcohol. Soft and completely without edges. A great winter warmer.

Medium bronze; aroma of apricot, chewy earthy malts; slight bubblegum, alcohol. Light toffee, dry alcohol and sweet bubblegum phenols intermingle.

(bottle dated 7/00) Hazy red with beige head (plenty of head despite age). Aroma is sweet, caramel, rich and sticky, vanilla, raisin, light chocolate. Taste is rich, malty, moderately sweet, caramel, raisin, some chocolate, light roasty. Full bodied. Fantastic beer, definitely more along the lines on an English-style barleywine.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Very dark color, with bright amber shades; thin head, creamy. Alcoholic aroma, light red berries. Round mouthfeel, very warming, some malt and caramel flavor, sweet; quite high bitterness. Well brewed, but without emotions.
