Slottskällan Imperial Stout
Sweden
ABV: 9%
Rating: 3

Nice sweet alcohol taste. Notes of fruit and some acidity. The Imperial Stout base is there but unfortunately the alcohol takes over.

 

 

 

 

Kortedala Enskilda Hinkbryggeri Kaiser Altbier Light (16/10)

Sweden
ABV: 2.5%
Rating: 3

A little like a weak lager but contrary to it’s big brother, Kaiser Altbier, this one actually gets fresher and hoppier towards the end and that is what saves it’s rating.

 

 

 

Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale (17/10)

USA
ABV: 5.5%
Rating: 3

An oily taste of toffee. Very nice body. Gets a little dull but still very drinkable with a pleasant mouthfeel.

 

 

 

 

Gulden Draak

Belgium
ABV: 10.5%
Rating: 4

Blackberry jam. Pleasant alcohol taste. A great dark strong Belgian with interesting liquorice notes.

 

 

 

 

 

Avery Anniversary Seventeen (20/10)
USA
ABV: 8.69%
Rating: 4

Grainy with notes of toffee. Roasted and burned, almost porter-like taste. Very good beer.

 

 

 

 

 

Dugges Kals Stout

Sweden
ABV: 5%
Rating: 3

Surprisingly rich in taste for its low ABV but a little too watery to resemble the kind of heavy stout I like to get a higher rating.

 

 

 

 

Dugges High Five (23/10)

Sweden
ABV: 7.5%
Rating: 4

Spicey, sweet and a nice hop taste. More than great.

 

 

 

 

 

Dugges Gustafs Finger (24/10)

Sweden
ABV: 5.8%
Rating: 3

Genuine bitter but far from as tasteful as Johannas Bästa. Good malty taste but the hops are a little weak.

Dyuck Jenlain Blonde
France
ABV: 5.9%
Rating: 2

I expected kind of a French blonde but this is just dull and quite watery lager. A little extra sourness, that’s all.

 

 

 

Kortedala Enskilda Hinkbryggeri Kaiser Altbier

Sweden
ABV: 4.4%
Rating: 3

Nice hop scent. Very fresh and sour. A little damp after a while and much of the initial freshness is in the nice carbonation.

 

 

 

S:t Eriks IPA

Sweden
ABV: 5.3%
Rating: 4

Fresh well-hopped and very good. Nothing special but a very genuine taste.

 

 

 

 

 

Dugges Johannas Bästa
Sweden
ABV: 4.6%
Rating: 4

A bitter rich in taste with nice porter notes. Perfect to food and a great brew.

 

 

 

 

 

Kortedala Hembryggarförening 8 Hops IPA
Sweden
ABV: 5.0%
Rating: 2

Poor carbonation and yeasty taste. A little oily and with less hop taste than the name suggest. Far from the best from the Kortedala crew.

Fastlagsgatans Nanobryggeri Kortedala Sommarwit
Sweden
ABV: 5%
Rating: 2
Nice colour and head. Fresh mouthfeel but unfortunately the taste is somewhat artificial. Both the wheat and hops character is hidden by this and I suspect I maybe got a bad bottle.

 

 

Traquair 2010
Scotland
ABV: 10%
Rating: 3
A decent barley wine with almond taste. Smoked and burned notes but nothing special.

 

 

 

 

 

S:t Eriks Pompona Porter
Sweden
ABV: 5.4%
Rating: 3
Oily. Mild with some weak burned notes. Scent and a little taste of vanilla. A nice porter but nothing special.

 

 

 

 

 

Kortedala Hembryggarförening Rabarberpappa Rhubarb Lambic
Sweden
ABV: 4.8%
Rating: 4
Very typical and nice lambic taste. Nice acidity and bitterness and you can sense the rhubarb in the background. Makes me long for more Lambic and that is worth a rating of 4 alone.

 

 

 

Kortedala Hembryggarförening OrvAle
Sweden
ABV: 4.8%
Rating: 2
Smells a little like Christmas. Spicy taste but a little lame and unpleasantly acidic.
