Clear dark copper color, white head. Swet and spicy scent, sugary and malty. Thin and slight acidic malty and sugary sweet taste, a bit roasted. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness. A bit flat. I did expect much, but in the end found this mostly boring.

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Average creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Light cloudy golden amber colour. Aroma of grain, ash, hops, citrus, caramel, fruit. Light bodied with an average carbonation and light dry texture. Light to moderated bitter and sweet flavour. Light dry and bitter finish.

Bottled. An amber coloured beer with a hint of red and no head. The aroma is malty with slight hints of toffee. Pretty sparse to be truthful. The taste has some fruit and oaky sweetness. More toffee and caramel. Pretty plain all round.

Bottle (50 cl) at 3 små rum, Göteborg, Sweden. Clear mahogny with a rich creamy beige off-white head. Fruity malt aroma with strawberries and some wood, along with herbal hops. Soft mouthfeel, mildly bitter and slightly short finish. Very tasty.

Bottle from Utobeer, with DownsouthGav. Chesnut colour with bubbly head. Aroma is malty, caramel and nutty with alcohol notes as it warms. Taste is oats, caramel, syrupy, fruity. Lovely dry finish.

Amber brown with a large white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Sweet, leathery, slightly oily taste, improving with every sip. Some late bitterness. Liked this.
