Bottle @ Oluthuone Kaisla, Helsinki, Finland. Dark brown beer with a light head. The aroma is lightly malty and the flavour is slightly roasted and quite weakly malty. Overall a plainly malty and weakly dry beer.

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.

Trendly made to finnish taste, a bit more bitterness added (read taste), basic strong lager, bit alcoholic taste but still strong as a beer

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.)

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

Average for its kind - but gets you drunk fast.
