UPDATED: MAY 4, 2021 This is a backlog rating from 2008 from a bottle, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are toasted malts, caramel, bready, lightly earthy.

UPDATED: FEB 24, 2020 Amber color with off-light head. Aroma has caramel, toffee and malt. Taste is malty sweet with long somewhat bitter aftertaste. Flavors of caramel, grass, malt.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2019 Bottle 330ml. Clear amber with a slightly beige head. Malty aroma with some sweet biscuits. Taste is pure and rather bitter, some sweetness initially. Carbonation a bit sharp.

UPDATED: OCT 10, 2019 2 finger off-white head. Semi-clear, deep amber to copper coloured beer. Aroma of caramel, malts (both roasted and regular), slightly metallic, wonderful wholewheat breadiness, raisins, fig jam and overripe citrus. Taste is similar but with a clear metallic and alcoholic presence. Brighter hop character here aswell. Mouthfeel is oily for the style with a light crispiness to it. Full bodied. Very sessionable. Medium-high bitterness. Medium-low carbonation. Slightly sticky. Lingers on for a good while. Overall: Could definitely be altered in taste but glad to finally have tried this somewhat (Swedish) legend of a beer. Nice Lager!

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2019 Tap at Bishops Arms Östersund. Pleasant lager aroma. Mahogany colour. Boring lager taste...

Orange-brown, small head, aroma of cookies, caramel, toffee, honey, bitter flavor, cookies, caramel, toffee, herbs, fun, medium bodied.

Aroma of malt and caramell. Taste is malty, caramell, bread and slightly roasted. An ok beer but not much more...

Bottle shared at a tasting at Max’ place, thanks EuroSecretSanta - Summer swap! Clear dark amber with a white film. Caramel and malt aroma - somewhat old. Sweet taste with bitter undertones and molasses. Light body, long and sweet finish, a little sticky. Nice but a little old.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks kerenmk. Amber color, no head. Smell of honey and candy. Sweet, fruity, flavors of honey, oxidized, some bitterness. Medium-bodied. Too old.

At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, quite clear dark red to light brown color, aroma of jam and over ripe fruit, flavor of bread, yeast and caramel, coarse bitterness. Old and not good.
