| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Nov 19, 2009 50cl bottle, K-market, Vantaa. Pours almost black color, with no head. Metal is the first thing that sticks in my nose. Flavor is very hard to find, mostly metal, then as the beer get a little warmer I find roasted malt, but otherwise the palate is very light, watery. Must have been something wrong with the bottle, although BB is 4/2010, so it is not an old bottle either. Must re-rate. Lalli (158), Helsinki, Finland

Flavor has a weak hint of roasted malts, but mainly a very bread-like body. Easy and harmless drinking, nothing spectacular. rosenbergh (889), Helsinki, Finland

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 7, 2009 Bottled. Dark brown and deeply reddish beer. Thin white head. The aroma has bready and slightly roasted maltiness, rye, a hint of dates and chocolate in the finish. Some herbal hops in the aroma too. Malty flavor starts sweetish bready and buttery finishing chocolatey and slighly bitter. The palate is medium bodied and quite thick for such a mild beer. Overall it´s nice beer unless you drink it ice cold. ante (2931), Stockholm, Sweden
