Of course; I'm about 14 years too late. But my friend cellared this one for a long time, and now I got my hands on it...

It probably peaked a couple of years ago, but is still quite delightful.

Lots of cherry-kernel bitterness along sides with sweet malts, dark dried fruits stylee.

Bottle, Stockholm, Sweden. Very dark/ruby brown color with a small white head. Aroma shows sherry-like oxidation with a touch of brown sugar and toffee. The beer tastes old, but tastes suprisingly vibrant and well balanced. Flavors of hazelnut, toffee with sherry-like oxidation that lingers well on the palate.

Sweet malty flavour, spot on for style, peaty, woody, slightly burnt malt, some raisins in their aswell. Palate was also a touch soggy. Yeah a bit sweet, dries out a touch towards the end, not really my style, but this was OK, not Nils Oscars Best though, IMHO.
