laiti (1675) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 1, 2011
33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 18.03.13
Sweet and perfume-like aroma, reminds me of an aged belgian ale. It has toffee, caramel, lots of candi sugar, spices and sweetish malt. Flavour has candi sugar, spices and some caramel. Some roastiness too. Alcohol-filled finish. Good belgian ale, but the alcohol disturbs a bit here.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2009 Light brown coloured beer with large off-white head. A yeasty malty aroma. Full palate, bit creamy. Finish is roasted also bit alcoholic near the end it gets a little bitter. Nice one.

DutchDrebus (1404) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - JUN 14, 2011
Nice brown colour. When you hold it in front of a good light source, there will be a nice red-ish colour shining through. Love that. Smells a bit malty. Nice taste. Quite heavy beer, but the mouthfeel is good.

OlJuntan64 (1266) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - AUG 22, 2002
Clear amber with very large lasting head and some sporadic lace. Practically no discerenable aroma when cold. Very faint floral hops and some alcohol aroma as it warms up. Medium bodied. Smokey burnt sugar dried fruit flavoured light carbonated and tangy start. Medium bitter middle and light smoked caramel bitter acoholic whiskeyish finish. Nice enough but lacks depth.
