Dugges Fuggedaboudit!

Brewed by Dugges Ale & Porterbryggeri
Style: Brown Ale
Mölndal, Sweden

Draft at Stockholm Beer Festival, 2007. A dark amber beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt as well as light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet yet with a slight hint of acidity, and notes of malt and vegetables, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Draught at Bishop’s Arm, Gothenburg. Deep ruby, small creamy head. Chocolatey aroma. Medium sweet with clean mouthfeel. Lightly woody with notes of molasses. Lighlty salty finish. Somewhat understated.

Draught. Quite hoppy aroma, refreshing and grassy. Dark chestnut colour. Small light brown head. Citric hop flavour, not very Belgian. Tastes more like a pale ale or IPA. Very late yeasty hint.

Draught. Dark reddish brown colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel, malts and slightly roasted coffee. Flavour is very sweetish malts, caramel, hops and some slight weird sweetness. Roasted coffee in aftertaste.

Draft at Bishops Arms, Malmö. Clear brown coloured with a beige head. Aroma of malts with notes of caramel. Flavour of malts, caramel and hops. Hoppy finish.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Dark brown color; thin head. I think it’s served too cold; it has a too light aroma; the flavor is very good, building some sweet maltiness and yeast fruitness around the strong core of roasted malt; then the hop bitterness (with hop aromas hidden by the roasted malt) is taking over, but at the end the bitterness is too high (too long infusion?).

Draught. Almost opaque dark ruby color, small tan head. Toasted aroma. Light roasted malty flavor. Roasted, light aftertaste. Muted version of Bältesspännade.

On tap. It’s a clear, dark brown beer with a small, beige head. Slightly roasted nose with a little licorice and nice hops. Hoppy, slightly chocolaty flavor, roasted and citrusy with hints of licorice. Full-bodied and sweet. Long hopped finish with a nice bitterness. A rather lovely brown ale, not to big, and quite tasteful. (090529)
