Bottled (Kamppi, BB 06/2011)
Clear mahogany color, good creamy beige head. Toffeish nutty weak aroma. Crisp carbonation. Quite unbalanced flavor of toffee, harsh maltyness and nutty hops. Plasticky aftertaste with light hops and sugar. Pretty average anniversary beer.

Bottle 500ml (K-Market Kamppi). Light brown-reddish (mahogany) color with thin white head. Medium carbonation. Aroma of toffee, dark hops and sweetish malt. Taste is malty, fruity, lightly metallic and sweet. Somewhat bitter-sweet dry aftertaste, but still easily drinkable. Another Belhaven I like, but not my favorite of their beers.

Beautiful mahogany with a low creamy head. Aroma of wood, roasted malts and smoke. The flavour is bitter-sweet with a long smoky finish.

500 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear dark mahogany colour with small creamy off-white head. Mild bitter hops, chocolate, malt and wood in aroma. Mild dark bitter hops, sweet sugary malt and chocolate in flavour.

Bottle. A smell of grain, very light sour, some bitter chocolate. The head is large, creamy and light beige with a normal carbonation. The body is red. A light bitter taste, also light metallic but in a nice way. The beer is dry, light to medium strong with a normal carbonation.

One of the saved beers from the brewery visit summer 2008! 2009-01-01, bottle 8 C, Scotland AR: Hops, organge peel AP: Cristal clear amber, holy foam. F: Sweet hunny, fresh hops, fruity (undefined)

UPDATED: OCT 6, 2009 50cl dark amber bottle, as shown. Color, likewise, is dark amber. Creamy, sticky medium head. Aroma of toffee and stewed fruit. Soft malty,caramel flavor, again with stewed fruit for balance. Rather sweetish. Medium-bodied at first, but with its oily texture it’ll grow on you. Soft bitter finish. As stated before, this really is a dark ale to relax comfortably in your chair on a quiet evening. You won’t drink many of these in one evening. Good ale.

bella schiuma bianca,compatta,risulta una birra molto rinfrescante e leggera. Leggermente agrumata,ma molto dissetante. una buona birra da compagnia,da bere senza pretese!

Sample at Voldby Ølmesse. Medium head with medium duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are malt, fruits, caramel, citrus and hops.

50cl bottle from Waitrose, Edinburgh. Copper with a thick cream head leaving lots of lacing; toffee aroma; sweet caramel malt flavour with a dry toasty finish. Very drinkable.
