Very well carbonated drink and texture. Some big citrus fruit flavors with a tinge of caramel. Bit of a bitter hop finish. Main aroma character is yeast with a bit of spice in the back.

330 ml bottle. Finland. Dark reddish brown colour with medium head. Sweet a bit chocolate aroma. Also some chocolate on flavour. It is like cola meets tripel. Not bad, not great!

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and spicy. Sweet and malty flavour with notes of spices and hops. Quite good, but maybe a bit too thin.

Shared w/ Juart. Pours dark molasses brown with a slight reddish hue when you look in the light. The head on this was huge; about 1 1/2 times the depth of the beer itself. Head is sort of beige and fizzy for as long as it lasts. Lots of clingy lacing. Aroma is alcohol, prunes, smoky molasses, and a combination of soy sauce and sesame oil. Flavor is a little weak. Good maltiness, but does not have the rich notes I expected. The flavor wanes very quickly on the tongue. Some roasty carbonic flavor with soy. The body is thin and everything really lacks any depth.
