Jul 5, 2009 Draught at HBF 09. Dark opaque brown, small tanned head. Hot nose with vanilla, molasses, HP sauce, little wood and licorice toffee and cooked vegies, some similar notes with Pesäpuu. Dull marinade like flavor with acidic salmiak, aged fruits, syrupiness, some alcohol and hops in the finish along with bitter cocoa and licorice. Mouthfeel could be a bit thicker. Feels kinda cheap and artificial, really not a fan of those marinade notes.

May 22, 2009 Draught at Helsinki Beer Festival 2009. Dark reddish brown color with creamy head. Vanilla and bourbon aroma upfront with coffee and chocolate in the background. Sweetish, roasty and whiskyish flavor with firm bourbon barrel note. Some solventy and sharp alcohol notes. There are some tasty elements here but overall the stout is too much lost in bourbon.

Very sweet roasty aroma, vanilla’s there, for sure. Salty taste - spicy - and a touch alcoholic. Yup, OK, there’s stoutness too there, that doesn’t need to be said. Tingly finish. Weird. Are there anchovies in this?

Dark ruby-brown color, small beige head. Cocoa, oak and vanilla in the nose. Full-bodied, a bit sweet liquerish. Flavor is similar to aroma: cocoa, vanilla, some oak, some salted licorice in the aftertaste. Quite sweet impy, this must be barrel aged.8
