This year we’re going to start off with a Swedish brew, Mysingen Midvinternbrygg by Nynashamns Bryggeri. This beer is dark in colour with a reddish hue throughout it and a light tan head that lasted a while. The beer is filled with nutmeg, cumin, vanilla, orange zest and carnation, making it little wonder that it has a spicy character that dominates the nose then carries through to the flavour, which is backed by a solid malt base. The body of the beer is a little heavy and the carbonation is medium low, present without being at the forefront.

Rating: 3.5 / 5 – I like it, the various spices are interesting and add some needed complexity.
