Teerenpeli Hullujussi 7.0 %

Brewed by Panimoravintola Teerenpeli
Style: Imperial/Strong Porter
Lahti, Finland

Draught at Teerenpeli, Turku. Black, tiny fading deeply tanned head. Lots of salty liquorice on the nose, slightly tart, hints of sweet vanilla ice-cream. Flavor is same load of liquorice, little salt, dark molasses, vanilla and coal. Medium bodied, oily and strongly carbonated palate. Sweet, a bit sticky and simple, but enjoyable, that liquorice sticks out nicely.

Draught at Teerenpeli, Lahti. Black colour with a small brown head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of chocolate and liquorice. The flavour is roasted malt, some chocolate and liquorice, a hint of hops. Burnd aftertaste, medium-bodied. Served way too cold, as always in Teerenpeli. Better than most of the Teerenpeli’s beers.

Dark brown color, small brown head. Roasted malts, some toasted vegetables in the nose. Sweet, liquerish, roasted and vegetably flavor. Simple strong porter, a bit too sweet for my liking, but above Teerenpeli’s standard line up.

Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival. Very dark brown, small beige head. Strong chocolatey nose. Burnt and roasty with asphalt and chocolate. Sweet and full bodied, concentrated and quite powerful. Salty bitter finish. I’m no fan of Teerenpelis session beers, but it seems to suit them well to ramp everything up one notch.

Draught@SBWF2009. Deep brown colour, small brown head. Aroma is hops, roasted malts along with some wood and dark chocolate. Flavour is quite much the same along with some slight red berries and grass. Balanced.

Draught at Stockholm Beer and Whisky 2009. Pitch black coloured with a huge beige head. Roasted aroma of hay and dark chocolate. Sweet and roasted flavour of berries, dark chocolate and hops. Dry roasted and hoppy finish.
