Evil_Pidde from Sweden

3.54/5  rDev +2.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5

A: Pour is dark; brown with strong red hints. The beige head is pretty large and thick. Dissipates into nice lacings.

S: Sweet slightly roasted malt - bready. Kind of mild smell.

T: Sweet at first but then dry. Roasted malt. Some nice bitter hops. Dark bread.

M: Aftertaste is rather long and dry/bitter - nice. Body is medium to full and carbonation is held back.

D: This one was a nice surprise; usually I don't like the beers from Åbro (I think they are to "macro", but this one wasn't).

The beer is dark brown with hints of orange, a tan high head that leaving loads of lacing.

The smell is mostly malty, bread and molasses.

Staring sweet, brown bread, fruity notes, ripe apples, a modest raw flour bitterness.

Low carbonation, small bubbles, soft, slightly sticky, a good body and mildly dry finish.

Not bad, but not really interesting either. A lot of these dark or Vienna lagers at Eastern and Christmas.This is the 2011 vintage which has slightly higher ABV, 5.7%.

Oh Lord, do I never run out of Easter beers?

The colour is dark brown-red. The two finger thick compact foam (with a surprisingly fine crater) is beige, it leaves some fine lacing.

The smell is a little bit roasted, dry with metallic notes and a hint of boiled vegetables.

The taste is malty with dry roasted notes. It develops into dry-bitter flavour with notes of nuts, beef stock and nutmeg. The rather mild bitter aftertaste also got some sweet malty notes.

The carbonation is a little milder than the average dark lager, leaving lots of room for the flavours.

A nice dark lager, and a rather different one for coming from Åbro.
