Bottle: Clear, deep ruby-amber coloured, foamy off-white islets on the surface; sweetish caramelly-fruity (dried fruits, as usual) nose; moderate sweet flavour, relatively light bodied; coriander (?) in the sweet-fruity finish. Not bad, but too tame........

Bottled (BB 03/2009). Deep ruby red color, good creamy beige head, lace. Spicey (clove, cardamon) caramel malty aroma with metallic notes. Medium-bodied. Same spices in the flavor. Caramel malts, alcohol less dominant than 8.5% indicates. Feels more lager than ale. Similar to the old version, but this one has more body.

Bottled. Nutbrown colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is spices, quite malty as well as some alcoholic stinging notes. Flavour is dark berries, some dark dry fruits, alcohol and some spices (cinnamon, cardamom, clove). Some slight hoppy notes, caramel also. Quite complex, and alcohol does give a punch to it. On the border to being a bit too much.

Bottle. Brown color. Malt, cinnamon and a hint of raspberry in the aroma. Sweet and sticky, slightly perfumed flavor, with cinnamon, cardemom and raspberry juice. Not my taste.

Tap@LocusDelft. First glass from a new barrel. Grassy, light herbal, light malty, orange and bit alcoholic aroma. Clear, ruby/brown color, beige fine head, good lace. Sweet, rather bitter, well hopped, malty, prune, hint of licorice. Sticky mouthfeel, medium body, lightly warming. Nice.

Pale brown in colour with a thick head. Fruity aroma. Ripe red fruits come through strongly in the flavour. Texture is rather thin and watery for this style of beer.

<i>Bottled at Monk’s Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. </i> Clear nut brown, rich firm head. Aroma of cardamom and caramel. Fairly sweet with rounded, somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Lots of toffee and mildly warming with vague notes of metal and alcohol. Low bitterness.
