330ml bottle - - Pikkulintu, Helsinki - shared by Mave - thanks!
Honey and nettles aroma. Buttered hot cross buns in the taste. Nettles too. Quite odd, but not unpleasant. Quite a sharp palate, and a buttery finish.

(Bottled) Hazy, darkish red-amber with a small, tanned head. Port-raisiny aroma with lots of dried, dark fruit and cardamom spiciness. Flavor of chocolate cake, dark fruit and some caramely-malty sweetness. Medium body with soft, lowish carbonation. At 2 years, this is probably close to its peak. A nice and christmasy brew with nice dark-dried fruitiness.

Tested august 2008. Thick brown foam that stays. Reddish colour. Aroma of madeira wine, caramell malt and a little acidity. THe taste is very smooth and reminds you of a barly wine but lighter body and more drinkabillity. Unfortunantly this was the second last botle.

Brown with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted malt, spices, caramel and overripe fruits. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, overripe fruits and chocolate. Ends sweet.

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours deep red, rather clear and with a pretty, small, creamy yellowish head. Aroma is brilliant, lots of caramel, alcohol, light berries. Very smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, vinious, light chocolate, caramel, rye bread, dough and a light touch of tart berries. Super balance

50 cL bottle. Pours almost clear and dark orange to reddish with a lacing white head. Dark malty and light woody malt aroma. Flavour is light spiced and medium dry wooden with a light oldish, yet pleasant, malt flavour. Fruity too. Lingering fruity and dry finish.

Vintage 2006, 1 year in cellar. [Sampled to the 50-day in Fangel.] Indeed a great beer after one year in darkness, which gave a nice sweet and smooth flavor of caramel, toffee some spices and alcohol. Yeast, dried fruits and a medium finish.
