Draught @ Bruuveri, Helsinki. Attractive dark ruby brown, quite thick off-white head. Slightly buttery, roasted nose. Little syrup and hops. Very mild, tartish flavor, a bit of roasted malts and dull bittering hops in the finish. Light to medium bodied, strongly carbonated palate. Sourish and quite plain.

Draught at the brewpub- Dark brown with red tinges. Malty, grainy aroma with a bit of hay. Tangy on the tongue at first with a fruity, malty taste with a pleasant finish which is malty and grainy. Drinkable but nothing special and begins to irritate a bit by the end of the glass. I should’ve had a half!!

330ml bottle (Helsinki Beer Festival 2004) 5.1% Rich amber, thin loose head. Hoppy and sweet alcoholic aroma. A bit sickly. Reflected in the taste - hard to describe, maybe like a bock with some of the all-important body removed. Sour, hoppy, alcoholic, not a good sour though.

Hazy dark amber color with red shades. Poor aroma and flavor, dark caramel flavor with some roasted malt and some malt acidity. Not interesting.

Dark amber colored, little light brown head. Mild chocolate, some hops and sweet caramel in aroma, still rather boring one. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor has grains with caramel and only slightly drying end. Dull but clean product.
