Pours a foamy coppery brown color with a small fizzy head. Nose is light spices like pepper and a bit of toasted malt with some caramel. Palate is medium with a nice effervescent presence and a really solid, flavorful finish. Flavors of light caramel, yeast, grass notes. hints of barnyard in the nose. FatPhil (3734), Espoo, Finland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 10, 2010 750ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki, Winter beers 2009)
Opens with a small worm of foam. Sharp and acidic first aroma, sharp fruits. Pleasant carbonation, heading towards the lively. Aroma has butter, and the taste has artichoke dip. Sounds spoiled, but there’s a very nice beer in here trying to get out. Fantastically dry taste. Nettly in places. Finish really malty. A very welcome burntness in the finish to round this off. jredmond (1202), New Jersey, USA

Pours a well carbonated body with nice fizzy head and a good amount of sediment. Aroma is sweet cherry and some other fruit. Mouthfeel is pleasant with some soft notes of tart and cherry. zdk (500), New York, USA

Taste of coffee dark toffee malts and some spice. It’s smooth with springy carbonation. Finishes with some bitter astringency which throws off the balance unfortunately.
