Jun 26, 2009 Can’t beat the appearance of this for my nickel. Thick and black and tan head. Strong aroma of prunes, coffee, soy, cough medicine and sicky sweetness, oh yeah, rock on. Palate is a touch thin and a bit of a disappointment, roasted, nutty. As it warms its better. The hop and malt profiles increase nicely and the palate’s not so thin anymore. Sweet and viscous as it warmed. Oh I’m liking this better and better.

May 31, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with thick beige head. Much lacing. Powerful aroma of walnuts, caramel and melt. Flavour is complex blend of walnuts, caramel, roast malt and a hoppish edge. Rich lasting finish. Good with the old songs.

May 29, 2009 330ml bottle. Had it in room temperature. Pours nearly black with a nice brownish head that also seems to last quite long. Aroma is strong roasted and quite good actually. Flavor begins sweet malty and advances to a nice, roasty finish with some coffee also. Very nice, definitely the best finnish beer I’ve had so far.

May 18, 2009 Bottle 33 cl. Black with a tan head. A malt-dominated aroma with sugars present in abundance. Some roastiness in taste combines with hints of dark chocolate, coffee and raisins. Some bitterness in the finish. One of the best Finnish beers by a non-microbrewery.

Rich body, oily texture with sweet coffe, deep roasted malt, dark chocolate, some creamy vanilla. Fine bitterness in the finish. Fine and delicious one, strong personality what makes numbly my tongue...

May 9, 2009 Pours nice dark tan head. Fairly foamy, but it does eventually collapse. Aroma heavy in malts and dark sugars. Dark black body with no light passing through. Not overly roasted in flavor, but bitterness does creep up in the aftertaste. Good body. Not thin, but not overly thick like some Baltics can be.
