Draft. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and spicy. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, bisquits, grass, and spices, leading to a dry spicy finish. Nice.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Pours an almost clear deep amber with a creamy yellowish/beige head. Very aromatic hoppy nose - somewhat dusty. Quite full-bodied with a base of sweetis caramel malts, some fruityness and a fairly solid bitterness in the finish. 060608

Draught at Bishops Arms, Göteborg. Dark amber, very lightly hazy, minimal head. Rich grapefruit aroma. Sweet with clean, bold mouthfeel. Lots of crystal malt and American hops. Very bitter finish. A typical Dugges beer, typical American in style from it’s clean mouthfeel to it’s rich juicy hoppiness.

Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse 68, Stockholm. Clear copper colour, rich firm head. Powerful hop aroma of lychee and mango. Sweet with notes of malt, black cherries and tangerine. Wave after wave of aromatic hops roll in on top of a straigh forward American style malt character. Really bitter, and it lingers, but doesn’t go overboard. Yeah!
