Laitilan Tumma Kukko

Brewed by Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas
Style: Dunkel
Laitila, Finland

A hazy brown beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with lots of rye bread notes. The flavor is sweet with notes of metal, citrus, and rye bread. Too much metal for my liking.

Dark amber color. The aroma is quite perfumy, nice. But the flavor is much simpler, the mouthfeel weak, with dry caramel and some roasted malt. Dry and bitter end, too bitter. Unbalanced.

Dark amber color. Peculiar aroma, of caramel/toffee candies. Worse taste, malt beverage (some sweetness, caramel, cereals, no bitterness).

(Can 50 cl) Pours a clear, reddish brown with a small, off-white head. Distinct aroma of rye bread. Light-bodied wit a wee tartness. Markedly roasted, bready malt character. Almost no bitterness. 150306

Can. Red brown colour with a tan head. Malty, rye bread aroma and a sweet malty, rye bread, heavy metallic taste. Light body with a heavy metallic finish.

Canned 0,50L. Compact and adherent foam, medium duration. Clear brown color, enough limpid and with a good fizz. Alcoholic scent with notes of burned wood and braced malt. Lightly dry and watery taste; ash and roasted cereals rumors. Preponderant bitter and enduring final.
Thanks to mabjork for this beer.

Canned. Copper red in colour, minor beige head, lacings. The aroma is sweet and hoppy. The aroma is fruity and malty with bitter undertones. It has a dry and sweet aftertaste.

Amber with short beige head. Sweetish aroma with hoppy and spicy notes. Light flavour dominated by some spices like thyme. Nuts. A flowery hoppy note though almost no bitterness in the finish. Faintly metallic? Watery palate. Overall remarkably tasty considering the ABV. Not really a dunkel.

Semi dark red-brown color. Earthy aroma is harsh and slightly bitter. The flavor is quite mild but nicely soft. Harmless and one-dimensional with a late harshly bitter ending.
