Bottle at Svea, Malmö. Black coloured with a medium sized fast disappearing beige head. Roasted aroma dominated by berries with notes of coffee. Roasted flavour of coffee, berries and hops with notes of grass and chocolate. Hoppy finish.

Thanks to Belgianbeergal for the bonus. Explodes from the bottle. Pours a jet black color with a fluffy brown head. Loaded with roasted coffee, milk cocoa, and faint cola. Fairly balanced, but not very ambitious.

22. Thanks, 46er3498! Black with a hugely towering rocky tan head. Mild milk chocolatey nose. Deep, clinging sheets of lace. Medium dry body, kind of acetic. Not much happening on the mid-palate; chocolate and brown bread. Nice enough.

Almost a satisfying beer in its category, but there’s a sort of wateriness to the flavor and feel of the beer and leaves an underwhelming overall impression.

It is a light stout. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and some chocolate. I thought it was pretty plain, it seemed a little watery. I also thought it had a little bit of a metallic taste to it.

Again dry stouts are just not for me...and this one is not even a good representation of the style. Very "plain Jane" aroma and flavor. As expected you get some choc notes but this one just is way to dry and bitter. And the mouthfeel is very water.

A lighter stout and one of my semi-local favorites. Use glass everytime no exceptions. Its a great beer.
