Golden and copper in color, thick white head, which vanishes slowly, some lace. Aroma is flowery, bitter soft, malty. Soft, well balanced, pretty malty, notes of alcoholic. Warm and slightly alcoholic finish.

(Can 56,8 cl) Beautiful amber colour with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of hops and alcohol. Very potent body with lots of alcohol and a rather sharp, hoppy finish. Looks great but has a flavour of your typical Nordic Malt Liquor. 221005

Bottled. Copper coloured, small bubbly brown head. Sweet alcohol, malt and weak caramellish notes in aroma. Strong malty flavour with alcohol growing in finish. Very bitterish overall, and a bit hard carbonation.

Dark-amber color, off-white head. Metallic and alcoholic aroma. Full-bodied malty, slightly sweet but metallic alcoholic taste dominates the flavor. Slightly bitter alcoholic aftertaste. (3/4/6/2/10 2.5)
Canned, a pint (BB 04/2005, brewed in Kerava)
Amber color, quickly vanishing white head. Lots of CO2. Malty, metallic, hensfood aroma. Sweet metallic flavor, palate is ruined with alcohol. (2/3/4/2/8 1.9)

Bright amber colour, thick head; looks nice. The aroma is pea-soup and alcohol. The flavour is alcohol, alcohol & alcohol.

Clear amber color, thick head with lace. Extremely harsh alcohol aroma hides everything else. Flavor is quite smooth and malty with some sweetness, plums and an alcoholic twist. The smooth, medium-carbonated palate is ruined with way too much alcohol. Another beer that shouldn't have been brewed at all.
