Nils Oscar God Lager

Again at the posh noshery, I decided to explore the beer menu and went for Nils Oscar's God Lager (5.3% abv) which roughly translates to "Good Stocks". Again, like Spendrup's Mellanol, this beer is a Vienna Style lager with strong a really strong malt profile. Slightly darker than your average lager the texture is also thicker as the beer is unpasteurised, which leaves the beer tasting fresh and new.

I should also spend some time describing the restaurant! Fem Sma Hus (five little houses) is located in Gamla Stan on Nygrand, a narrow alley just off Skeppsbron. It occupies a series of arched brick cellars which get lower and more atmospheric as you go deeper - some are well below water level.
The restaurant is very popular, is mentioned in the 2008 Michelin guide. The food is traditional Swedish, with dishes such as Gravadlax and reindeer (which was awesome, although it had a slightly putrescent odor!), in reasonable-sized portions. The cooking was perfectly competent and the service helpful - as you would expect at the fairly high prices. Our waiter was a surprisingly camp bloke who should go into comedy!
In summary, worth a visit for traditional Swedish food and a romantic setting!
