Rerate, 12 fl. oz. bottle, bought at the GBBF 2008 for takeaway (forgot that I had rated it previously). ABV was said to be 5.0%. Dark brown colour, nearly black, nice and lasting tan head. Notes of aroma: same as first time. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy. The flavour has still plenty of roasted malts and lactose sweetness, also notes of chocolate, mild coffee and some liquorice. Good stuff - I’m upping it a few points. Original rating: Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. Dark brown to black colour. Nice roasty aroma, notes of cocoa, hints of liquorice. Moderately sweet flavour, plenty of maltiness (probably also lactose).

(Bottle, in Sweden). Another beer for the Swedish grocery store market. Weak as expected. Golden colour, some decent hops come through in aroma and flavour/aftertaste, and make the beer drinkable.

(330 ml can, in Sweden near Tierp). Pale golden colour. Piss weak aroma and flavour. Why I bought it? It was the only beer (besides Pripps Lättöl) they had at the kebab joint.

Another 3.5% lager for the Swedish grocery store market. Weak, but you can sense that some malts and hops actually have been used. Reasonably decent flavour. Unpleasant tartness in the finish.

(330 ml bottle, at a roadside café in Sweden). Light (= low alcohol) lager. At 2.1% ABV you don't expect much, and you don't get much either. It is weak, but drinkable. Not much more to say.

(500 ml can, bought in Sweden). This is a 50/50 mix between an ale and a lager. Golden colour, low head. Hardly any aroma at all. Tastes more like a lager than an ale, not very pleasant bitterness.

Sampled bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. Vintage 2007, ABV was 5.9%. Dark reddish brown colour, nearly black. Moderately malty aroma with mild roasty notes, hints of liquorice. Is this really a top fermented porter, or is it bottom fermented (technically more of a "Baltic" porter)? Very little fruitiness in the flavour. Malty with loads of caramel, some roasty bitterness, hints of liquorice.
