Reddish colour; floral bouquet, rich malt. Warmingly sweet maltiness, notes of candied blackberries, evenly balanced. Dry, yeasty finish.

Amber to dark-amber color; creamy magnificent head. Quite poor aroma, soapy; and with some malt. Quite good body, some sweetness (but dryer at the end), malt caramel and liquorice; a touch of vegetables. The final is warm and can't completely hide the alcohol. Thanks Jacob (Lövenlund) for this bottle.

Murky orange brown body topped by small beige head. Aroma is rich, chocolate, nutty, molasses and raisin. Taste is molasses, chocolate, fruity, caramel. Finishes with a floral/herbal bitterness and alcohol warming. Rich full body. Yummy!!

Dark hazy nut brown, small creamy expresso head. Roasted nose with some sweet berries. Roasted - dry flavor. Chocolaty, a bit sugar in the finish. Quite carbonated.

Mahogany red with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of yeast, bread, dark fruits and the flavour of sweetness, roasted malt, caramel, dark fruits, figs, cane sugar and a light sourness, that has a bit tart hints. 2450

Bottle. Pours a nice hazy mahogny colour with a thick creamy long lasting light brown head. Strong aroma of fruitiness and alcohol, malt, yeast, plenty of sweet caramel. Very good soft, sweet, malty, caramel, malty, fruity, alcoholic and bit yeasty flavour. Nice long lasting sweet finish of dark fruits. Warms the belly up!
