Initial aroma after letting it sit for a while is pure raisins and sherry, almost like samichlaus, and with plenty of vanilla. A little swirl brings out some esters, which are less delightful. Soft palate, very sweet retronasal sherry and some banana. A touch of ashtray as it warms, but thoroughly pleasant sipper - I enjoyed every drop. With its sweetness and vanilla emphasis, this is very like Huvila Pesäpuu#1. TBone (6771), Pori, Finland

Opaque black color, not much head, just some brown foam. Strong aroma of sweetish vanilla and some whisky. In the flavor loads of vanilla, this is certainly quite sweet. Not alcoholic, light toasted notes in the aftertaste. This is a bit like Huvila Pesäpuu nr 1. Sweeter than batch 007.
