Dec 24, 2008 Bottle, 2006.
Amber color, large off-white head.
Very strong amber malt aroma, slight barnyard tinge, yeast, nuts, like a biere de garde. Very spicy, quite sweet flavor. Very malty, fruity, cinnamon and cloves? Slight earthy flavor as well. Decent hops, with a dryness that accompanies the fruity sweetness. A touch of citrus, apples. Medium body, higher carbonation, good balance, though the dry side takes over. Rather dry finish, amber malt as well. Good hops. A very good beer.

Dec 18, 2008 Bottled 750ml. -Dark orange coloured, medium to big off-white head, dusty yeasty nose. Sweet malty, yeasty and nice hoppy with mild spicy notes. Alcohol becomes more noticable towards the end. Also some nutty notes in the finish. To be honest quite ordinary BSA.

Dec 17, 2008 0.75 l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado - huge thanks! I love how the front label says 9% and the back label 8.5%. It poured a nice brownish amber-red body with a big thick white head that went away at a medium pace. Chalky nose, notes of crude hops and some dusty yeastiness. Ehm, not the nicest I have smelled today. Very fine sweet malty taste, quite nutty. Light aromatic hopiness and some light alcohol showing near the end. Not all that complex in my opinion, but very tasty with a great maltiness.

Dec 14, 2008 330ml bottle - - Poirotti Kallio, Helsinki
Rich orange, small head. Light grain malt aroma at first. Dries a little later, but brings over more fruity esters and alcohol too. Massive fruity taste, fleshy fruits, peach and melon, but as a finish it is more dark berries. Also malty finish, a touch of full juicy hops too. Covers 9% very well.

Nov 21, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Wow, people are crazy about this brew. I’m not that into it. Fruitiness, yes, But lacks awesomeness. Still very drinkable. It’s aight.
