Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear golden, no head. Vinous oak barrel aroma. Sweet and full bodied. Masively malty with well rounded mouthfeel. Intense flavour of lingoneberry and red wine. Not really that complex, but warming and wonderfully tasty

Bottle shared by iowaherkeye. Thanks! Poured a hazy medium orange color with a creamy white head. Smelled of apricot, peaches, cream, pineapple pastry, and clove. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with a splash of alcohol. Fruit forward with pineapple, passion fruit, and orange flavors. There was a pale malt backbone and some nonspecific spices. i also got some coconut after the finish.

Bottle from travita, thanks Travis for the share on this one. Pours golden with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet, light, and florally fragrant. Taste is sweet, with notes of liquorice and all in all very interesting.

Bottle thanks to travita (also a bottle from a trade with iowaherkeye that I will cellar). Pours with a white head and a clear golden body. Aroma of oak, spice, wood and dry agave. Taste is sweet with wood and tequila. Very strange but awesome beer. Dry, oaky and light carbonation. Alcohol is there, but not 12.5 % there. Pretty awesome!

500, corked and baled. Thanks, Homebrew! Pours a crystal clear pale yellow with a huge dense white foamy cream on top. Big tangy, almost pineapple-y nose. Creamy, sticky body. Fruity, tangy, pineppley mid-palate. Delicious. Some watermelon and bubble gum there as well. Mild sweet finish. Awesome, awesome beer.

Smells a bit...odd...avoiding a more pejorative adjective. Yellow body. Better flavor than aroma, with notes of tropical fruit, malts, and wood. Not my favorite, however. Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.
