Dark amber, no head (on sample). Unbelievable burnt nose, roasted but great, just a touch of sweet, rest being nice roasted, as fresh breadcrust. Burnt, roasted, coffee-like, moccha, but a bit flat. I’m afraid my sample was a bit tired by the time I tasted. Medium bodied, very little carbonation (see above). Bad circumstances - needs to be tried again, but at least it’s quite interesting. Glad I can say this about this brewery for once.

Oct 4, 2008 330ml bottle 7€ EXP 03/07/09 shared at Kaunis Kampela with FatPhil&Anna 290908 murky dark brown tiny white head Scent: like young Samiclaus or mämmi Taste: first kick dried fruits like plumes and raisins then rich roasted malts. Aftertaste dried fruits dominates more than roasted malts.Very enjoyable as dessert more please.

Sep 30, 2008 330ml bottle (Kaunis Kampela, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks)
Dark reddy-brown, small tight head. Rich sweet malty aroma - plums, but also rich malt loaf. Quite crisp carbonation. Pretty sweet taste - like the burnt raisins stuck to the side of a cake tin after baking. Rich roasty and cakey malt. Treacle. Mirjukka mentioned Samichlaus, and I think she’s not far out. Yum.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottled, 330ml, at t’Velootje, Ghent. Dark brown with cream head. Nice spritzy, lively, fresh bruin, fruity and not over spiced, giving a strong but smooth beer. Really very good.
