3.2 64 oz growler from Growler Room, served in a shaker- poured a solid black color when held up to the fading daylight, aroma of plums and molasses. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt has some roast on it, molasses and it’s dull sweetness are in the middle, finish has this slightly odd raisin taste worth the way oatmeal with maple syrup feels. Odd, but it has the gig for tonight.

4.0 Can from Systembolaget LIllänge. Cinnamon was really overpowering in the smell. Beautiful dark colour. Very easy drinking, sweet.

1.0 Gimmicky, gross

3.5 Pours clear dark ruby red, with lacing mahogany foam head. Nice aroma, caramel, vanilla, chocolate and cookie dough. Same in taste, sweetish. (Velp 202003)

3.9 Can. Pours a deep dark brown with a medium sized tan head. Aroma of caramel, cinnamon and raisins. Flavor was quite sweet with cinnamon, caramel, raisins, vanilla, chocolate, and had a touch of toffee.

3.6 Can from Westhill Service Station. Pours a darkest brown with a ring of light tan lacing. Plenty biscuit and caramel aromas coming through. A light cola soda essence. Cinnamon spice warmth. Medium bodied with a moderately fizzy carbonation. Medium dry finish. Light fondant perfume. Leafy bitterness. Sweet, malty and tangy. Tasty stuff.

3.8 Nearly opaque, thin beige head. Smells of malty dries fruit. Flavour is dried fruit, chocolate, coffee. Not lots of complex flavour but hefty flavour, and that's more than adequate. Lovely stuff, rich and smooth with a good hit to it.

4.0 keg at innis gunn kitchen.. dark brown... soft sweet caramel toffee fruit nose... soft sweet big raisins.. juicy sweet fruit.. long caramel toffee malts

3.8 Getting really tired of this sweet beers the dessert Brews. Nevertheless this is fairly decent and does taste like its name

3.7 12 oz can. Pours a dark brown mahogany with good moderate head. Aromas of dry cookie dough, spicy raisins, stale cinnamon, and biscuity malts. Flavors of cinnamon raisin cookies short on sweet cookie dough, but with metallic dry malts. Good for the ABV

3.7 Cookie spice aroma. Dark brown, scant head. Actually tastes like what it says.

3.7 Can shared at a tasting at troubles' place. BOught in CPH. Clear brown. Walnut, tahini, raisins in the nose, sweet, nutty, raisins in the mouth, a little bit roasty, cocoa nibs. Light body, tahini and date honey finish.

3.5 Pours dark brown with nice head. Aroma: vanilla, cinnamon, sweet chocolate. Taateis very balanced with a nice interplay of vanilla, lactose and cinnamon.

4.0 Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall tan head on top that fades very slowly. Aroma of oats, toasted grain, malt, earth and then a big hit of raisins and a good touch of sugars that make it seem like a true oatmeal raisin cookie - very nice. Medium-bodied; Deep robust oaty malt flavours dominate in a good way without any pungnency, perhaps due to the tons of raisin, sweetness, prune and fig notes that show through immediately and balance out the malts. Aftertaste shows some lactose and pure caster sugar notes with a touch of deeper grain and malty flavours, but the oats, raisins, deep pitted fruits and softer vanilla pod notes come through at the end with a touch of more sugars. Overall, a very nice, and incredibly balanced beer that hits the right notes at the right time, without any pungency or grainy notes with a good hit of oats, raisins and sugars make this just like the namesake, while still being very easy-to-drink! I sampled this twelve ounce can on one of the first chilly nights of the year on 03-November-2019, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$2,84 sampled at home here in Washington.

2.5 Canned from Systembolaget Dark brown. Beige head. Raisin, cookie-dough and cinnamon. Rather sweet.

3.5 Can from Systembolaget. Pours a dark colour beer with a medium head. Roasted malt with notes of chocolate, cinnamon and cookie dough. Dry finish.

3.7 on tap at The Hulmeville Inn - nice brown color. Sweet caramel aroma and flavor.

3.9 Dark brown pour. Little foam. Sweet smell of coffee, fruit, and chocolate. Cookie spice, like nutmeg, plus vanilla taste with spicy raisin and hints of chocolate cinnamon palate.

3.9 Mørk brun med beige skum. Lukter nøtter, kokos og rosiner. Middels+ i fylde. Søt, lett bittersalt smak. Kakedeig, rosiner, kaffe, kokos og kanel. Middels lang.

3.8 Can at home from Stockholm, 29th September 19. Pours dark brown. Aroma is cinnamon, caramel. Taste is cinnamon, yeast, caramel and chocolate. It’s a little sweet, as the name implies, still good.

3.6 Burk Systembolaget. Mörkbrun vätska. Doft av kakdeg, kanel, russin och vanilj. I smak känns mörk choklad, mjölk, kryddor och lite trä. Krämig med diskret sötma.

5.0 0,355 l from Malmö Systembolaget. This Brown Ale is perfect and 5 points from me

3.3 Flaska (tack finöl). Söt med mycket spannmål, tydliga russintoner och en gnutta kanel. Helt OK, om än på gränsen till för kvalmig.

1.3 Canned, from Systembolaget. Dark brown, small head. Aroma of well, oatmeal raisin cookie. Sweet with medium body and clean, sterile mouthfeel. Tastes like... Oatmeal raisin cookie. Low bitterness in a finish with some tin foil. Oh, the refinement. I've always dreamed of liquid raisin cookie in tin foil. And the complexity!

3.4 @ Havregatan 20190921. Can (355 ml) from Systembolaget. Roasted malty, caramely and spicy with chocolate and cinnamon, medium body with an oily texture. The finish is bitter.

3.5 Burk från systembolaget. Kraftig kaneldoft. Söt smak av russin, havre och kanel.

3.5 Burk från SB. Valnötsfärgad vätska med lågt skum. Doft av russin, mjuk kaka, kanel, vanilj, kakao, mörkt sött bröd. Lätt kropp vilket ger en ganska torr smak trots den söta smakbilden. Fina russinsmaker men visst saknas lite fyllighet men trevligt lättdrucken. Gott

3.8 Dark brown color, medium sized beige head. Aromas of oatmeal, cinnamon, raisins, malt, caramel and cacao. Taste of cinnamon, oatmeal cookies, cacao, caramel and roasted hints.
