Jan 8, 2009 12 oz bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark reddish color. Strong perfumed and lemony hop aroma with berries, toffeish maltiness and raspberry. Bittersweet flavor with lemony hops as well as firm toffeish and caramelly maltiness. Chewy mouthfeel but not as chewy as in ordinary AB. Excellent bittersweet and hoppy finish.

Jan 4, 2009 Wafty hop aroma with woody oak and grassy soil. Dark caramel with solid head (slightly beige). Metallic and bitter on the tongue, some citrus tones. I was disappointed overall, very metallic and I got mostly cheap oak chip character from the oaking. Tangy and bitey on the tongue, smooth and velvety in the mouth.

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle, 12oz. The almost clear, amber body is topped by a beige head of moderate size, and releases aromas of sugars, some vanilla and piney hops. Sweet, full-bodied and slightly warming in the mouth, almost candy sweet. Vanilla, resin and pine-cones also chime in. Malty-sweet and piney in the finish. The beer needs a little time to reveal all of itself, and when it does, it’s a good one. Still, nothing extraordinary, as I maybe expected. (081003)
