Commercial Description:
Four different malted barleys combine to create a distinctive, full-bodied beer with a roasted nuttiness, uniquely enhanced by a hint of hazelnuts. Smooth and creamy with the nose of the Willamette hop, this porter is a beer style unto itself.

The aroma is sweet, slightly smoked and slightly malty. The color is dark red and it has a fine but fast disappearing head. The flavor is sweet malty with slight roasted notes. An OK beer - but not stouty enough - maybe because of the rather low ABV.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Very dark, close to black. Low, brownish head. Very full and pleasant hazelnut flavour, very delicious - although the flavour is added albeit natural. Beer with added flavours is not a route we want to follow. Unfortunately this is very delicate.

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of joergen. Pours dark brown to black with an almost fully gone head. Solid butterish and nutty aroma with a mild roasted note. Sweet malty and slight butterish flavoured with a light vanilla note. Clearly towards nougart. Light bitterness into the finish.

Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, small white head. Aroma of smoke and roasted malts. Flavour is very weird, sweetish plummy, candy sugary, nutty and caramellish. Only weak roastiness noteable. Watery brew.

Bottle at Svea, Malmö. Clear brown coloured with a small off white head. Sweet and light roasted aroma of hazelnuts and nougat. Light roasted flavour of hazelnuts and nougat with notes of chocolate and hops. Hoppy finish. The hazelnuts are much too dominating.
