5 Not getting aroma
3 Rich orange red
6 Buttery taste, some sharpness too
3 Bottom of bottle too sludgy, my fault 11 Shows potential - a careful pour might make this worth revisiting.

0.75 l bottle at Helsinki Beer Festival 2010. Slightly hazy amber color. Sweet candyish and caramelly aroma with notes of almonds and mushrooms. Caramelly, toffeish, fruity and herbal flavor. Unpleasant mushroom taste.

Deep amber color, small white head. Mostly diacetylic and caramelly nose. Slightly sour, caramelly, some champagne with apple note in the finish. Dry, spakling wine -like aftertaste. Oddball.
