2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 mjs (2997) - Helsinki, - DEC 12, 2010
(Draught at Pikkulintu) The beer poured brown and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma was very mild. There was some roastedness in the background but hardly anything else. Palate was quite light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were roastedness, burntness, mildly hops and bitternes. Aftertaste was burnt and bitter. This quite watery porter. Especially the aroma was disappointing.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JAN 6, 2012
(Bottled, rated 2010-12-14) Murky, dark reddish with a small head. Dried fruit, some diacetyl, coffee and chocolate in the nose. Softly malty flavor with some rough roastedness. Thin for sure - but decent for a 4.5% beer, and almost medium-bodied. A quite balanced porter made at this ABV only for the stupid Finnish 4.7% limit.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 TET (786) - FINLAND - JAN 2, 2012
A colabrown beer with a medium and beige head. Aroma is roasted, slightly sour ryebread, hint of liquirice and coffee. Taste is roasted, ryebread, overally taste is slightly biting and it would need more nuancees and strenght. Light body, more strenght body would support better to flavours. More flavour would be needed, now this beer is only roasted, light and simple beer without a unique touch.
