On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Ambrata, limpida, schiuma bianco sporco medio-leggera, non molto persistente. Al naso sentori di malto, frutta rossa, aghi di pino. In bocca è dolce, maltata, un po’ sbilanciata. Corpo medio, carbonazione soft. Originale e ben fatta, alla lunga stucca un po’.
Sample at Borefts 2016. Poured a crystal clear dark amber. The aroma is red berry fruit light yeast, light hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a smooth yeasty red berry fruit light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Rather nice!
Brun med lite rött, klar, ganska mycket skum.
Lukt: anis, bränt socker, knäckebröd, syrligt lite åt harsyra, granskotten kanske.
Smak: anis,söt, syrlig, lite salt, Harsyra/granskott, malt/knäckebröd, apelsin, granskotten ligger kvar i eftersmaken, trevligt!
Flaska från SB. Mörk kopparröd/mahognyfärgad med högt, fluffigt vitbeiget skum. Maltig doft med mycket torkad frukt, brunt socker, spannmål, brödsirap, kex, apelsinskal och lite lätt barriga inslag. Stor, fyllig kropp. Fortfarande sött och maltigt med mycket torkad frukt och brödsirap, men också mycket tydligare skogiga toner med mycket granskott och rivet apelsinskal. Beskan växer fram i eftersmaken, med skogiga inslag och lite klibbig känsla. Fylligt och gott.
Bue à la pression au Borefts Beer Festival 2016. J’avais d’autres choses à faire que de prendre des notes ;)

Tap at Örebro Ölcafe: Aroma is indeed northern forest with spruce and autumn/late summer notes. Pretty nice malt aroma as well. Caramel-ish. Taste is sweet, with almost honey like notes with stings from spruce needles. Really nice and the spruce provides the extra that is needed.

Tap @ Bishops Arms (Järntorget), Gothenburg 12/4-15. Fruity with malt and caramel, also sweet with some hoppy notes. Body is medium, the finish is sweet and fruity.
The spicy scent smells encode and Christmas Eve. Mild and smooth in the mouth, gentle bubbles. Sweet and bitter taste of candy caramel, pine needles and dried prunes. Tasty, fun and exciting. It spreads a pleasant warmth in my body.
