500ml bottle from the Systembolaget. Poured a ruddy red colour with soapy head that dissapated quickly - leaving no trace at all, giving the appearance of lifeless, dull beer. Aroma of sweet malt, toffee and a touch of chocolate. Initially very sweet taste, followed up by weak chocolate bitterness and a thin finish. Mouthfeel was syrupy and sticky. Basically if you like sweet malt and caramel this beer is for you. For me it was disappointingly one-dimensional for Nils Oscar.

A deep red beer with a fast diappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet iwth notes of berries, malt, and flowers, as well as hints of toffee. The flavor is lovely sweet and crisp, combined with acidic notes of cowberries, and subdued notes of spices. In the aftertaste the notes of berries lingers for a long time, together with a light note of alcohol.

Dark amber color with a tiny offwhite foam. Malty and fruity tones. Medium body with maltsweet, alchol aftertaste.
