A nut brown beer with a very white and dense head. The aroma is sweet with notes of nuts and caramel. The flavor is of nuts, hops, and roasted malt with a very dry end. The mouthfeel is very soft.

(Can 50 cl) Amber coloured with a handsome head created by the nitrogen released from the widgety thing in the can. The nitrogen also creates the flat mouthfeel. Very mild and smooth without much aroma or bitterness. But pleasant and highly drinkable. 081002

From tap. Pours hazy brown with a creamy head. Becomes clear brown after a while. Aroma is quite caramel sweet with a slight hop note. Flavour sweet candy like malt, only vaguely bitter. Soft malty finish

Draught at Loch Ness, Stockholm. Nut brown, creamy head. Lemony nose. sweet and neutral. A touch of toffee, but mostly void - like whipped water. Blown up like a baloon with nitrogen. Finishes somewhat metallic but without bitterness. Plain bad.

Can. Nice dark body, smooth nitrogen creamy off-white head. No aroma evident. Good taste, Light hops dominated by the malts, light fruit

Draught. Clear dark amber colour. Nice creamy white head. Low carbonation. The flavour is mostly grainy, though not too unpleasant. I should stop rating this shit.

Canned. Copper coloured with big creamy head. Aroma of weak malt with weak caramellish hints. Flavour is weak and mainly sweet malty with a bit bitterness to the end.

Widget can. Amber colour. Some nitro head. It has a vague caramel aroma, not much more than that. Horrible flat palate. Dirty dishwater mouthfeel. Tastes little better - vague toast, lots of water and some dirt. Bleh.
