Karhu Tosi Vahva

Brewed by Sinebrychoff (Carlsberg)
Style: Malt Liquor
Kerava, Finland

can; courtesy of oh6gdx - clear and dark amber colour with a very little foam; a gentle malty nose with a hint of toastiness; sweet maltiness, some biscuity and dusty notes in the finish, ashes - the 8% are quite well hidden

Biggish offwhite head over chestnut brown body. Faint, sweetish aroma with notes alcohol, caramel, and a little grass. Taste is sweet roasty caramel with notes of grass and marzipan. Slick, slightly buttery mouthfeel. Watery aftertaste with some bitterness, lingering alcohol taste and some alcohol heat. Quite good if warm, but a bit much alcohol. (0.33l bottle.)

Bronze colour. Smell of tobacco. Surprisingly sweet taste of.. .nothing. Lacking finish as well.

Bottled. Dark copperlike colour with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with alcohol and malt. The flavour has a sparkling carbonation sansation, it’s very sweet and there is caramel as well. It has an abrupt finish not all that balanced, regrettably.

Bottled 0,33L. Compact head of medium duration. Dark orange color, much loads, nearly burnt, with light a fizz. Sweetish and gaunt scnet with decidedly alcoholic notes and sweetened malt. Extremely unbalanced and sugary taste; overbearing alcoholic with notes of singed caramel. Sweetish, balsamic and unbalanced.
Thanks to mabjork for this beer.

Coppery color, little vanishing white head. Malty, mildly sweet aroma with some metallic tones. Medium alcohol in aroma. Medium bodied. Sweet, mild fruits, medium alcohol in flavor which lasts.
