Tap, SB&WF2009, aged on Mackmyra cask - Dark brown to black beer with almost no head. Aroma is intense with notes of coffee, licorice, chocolate, dried fruit and vanilla scented roasted malt. Flavor is sweet malty with notes of vanilla, chocolate, coffee, dried fruits and heavily roasted malt. Very nice and incredibly balanced. First Mackmyra cask beer that I’ve been very satisfied with! Near perfection.

Shared a bottle from 2005 with two good friends at Bishops arms in Örebro. Well, this is the best one yet! This is just as good as you might imagine!!! Pours insanley deep black, with a thick mocca head. Aroma is overwhelming. Every zip is a mouth full and tastes different. Smooth sweet plums, chocolate, oily dark malts, coffee, raisin.. This is the BEST!

V.2007 0.25L bottle tasted at sadonkorjuu 2009. Soft nose with vanilla and bluecheese. Pale brown head. Dark black brownish colour. Some hints of cacao in the nose. Soft chocolatey sweetish taste. Delicious. Mild hoppiness. Well balanced.

Bottle with a huge thanks to Marsiblursi! this comes from memory from earlier today as it was drank on the way to go pike fishing....Pours a deep rich brown with a decent tan head that holds well to the glass. The aroma is fantastic of dark fruit, some coffee, dark chocolate, some peat, and some alcohol. The taste is absolutely wonderful of the above smells, with some brown sugary sticky goodness on the palate. The alcohol is by no means over powering, but is enough to let you know its there. finish and mouthfeel is creamy smooth with a light lactose presence. If only I had some more....First class stout all the way.

Bottle 񢉗) shared with coyotehunter (thanks!!!) on departure for fishing. Pours thick and dark brown with a slow forming head and aromas that are spectacular. Chocolate, dark fruit, a bit of peat, wood and cream to it, with lots of chocolate milk throughout. Simply put, this is fantastic stuff and they should bottle more of it and send it all to me. Alcohol hides extremely well, flavors blend perfectly.

With picnic tables full of incredible beer, Craig stand up from the table and exclaims, "you’ll want to follow me". I agreed, and without hesitation we were off. The bottle wasn’t half way out of the bag and I could not believe my eyes. The pour was black and sticks to the glass. A small tan head was visible, but I am interested in how this smells and tastes. The aroma was worth the wait: chocolate, dark fruits, vanilla, coffee, molasses, and licorice. Can the flavor back up the nose? Yes, Kaggen was an awesome complex brew that lived up to the hype. Dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, coffee, molasses, dark fruits, subtle wood hints, licorice, and well integrated alcohol. Full bodied, chewy, and smooth. Thanks to Craig (cgarvieuk) for sharing this incredible beer.

For sure the best beer i have ever tried, almost to much, dark and heavy with notes of prunes, coffee and raisins.
