(Bottled) Slightly hazy red-amber with a small head. Nicely spicy (cardamom mostly), caramely aroma. Sweetish-caramely aroma, quite sahti-like and mellow-spicy. Medium-bodied, medium viscosity, low carbonation. An enjoyable, sahti-like, spiced ale. Only the lack of "sahti-roughness" separates this from the Finnish traditional drink. Nice!

May 27, 2008 really nice aroma, sort of stout like, but not that powerfull. but nice & well rounded. Looks good too, very nice flavor, round, soft, spicy, but not agressive.. good palate, overall a good beer, with a distinct but pleasant taste. Only complaint is it tasted a very little aged and the aftertaste was a little bit cognac like. best before aug.2008, perhaps it’s a little old, i don’t know. Otherwise real great bew

May 27, 2008 500ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki)
Deep red, thin light head. Sweet fruity aroma - cakey. Honey, doughy, even floury taste. Sweet spice - clove - reminiscent of some sweet spicy cake I can’t identify right now. Too sweet and doughy, but pretty easy to drink. Ferment this a bit more, eh, guys?
