X69 - Nils Oscar Kalaspåsköl (Sweden)

This is the annual easter beer from the Swedish brewery Nils Oscar. The nose opens with a nice, soft feeling with notes of dry fudge, hay, spices and some dry wood. There is a streak of dryness all through the nose.

The taste is spicy and medium deep with semi dark fruit and notes of blueberrys and dark chocolate. The bitterness is pleasurable but the finish is a touch too dry, although there is a nice touch of dry fudge in it.
