Bottle from TBone, thanks! Dark brown color. Caramel, cardemom and cinnamon in the aroma. Grainy sweet flavor, spices noticeable as in the aroma. Thinnish and a bit sticky mouthfeel. Not too bad.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottled. I had this one only very slightly chilled. Dark brownish to amber colour. Large and somewhat creamy head. Sweetish aroma has syrupy malts, light roastedness and aromatic hops. Sweet raisins and also a hint of peppery spiciness. Flavor is sweetish with a slightly bitter finish. Some lemon is present in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel and soft carbonation. A bit thin, but not watery. I liked this one quite much, actually.

Dec 19, 2007 0.33 l bottle. Darkish amber. Syrup, caramel, some burnt malts. Pretty good and tasty for 4.5 %, yet nothing really special. A solid performer in it’s style. I could take this to christmas table.

Dec 2, 2007 330ml bottle (KKK Market Kamppi, Helsinki).
Rich red, no head. Dark fruity and honey aroma. Surprisingly wimpy taste - it’s just a lager with a bit of caramel colour. Mostly watery, some spices, maybe ginger, bitterness is weak and a bit metallic.

Nov 9, 2007 Bottled (4.7%). Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is bready, fruity, caramel malty and some spices. Flavour is caramel malts, some hops and quite sweet. Quite watery palate, but still a nice seasonal beer.
