330mL bottle brought back from Belgium by a friend.
As much as I loved the delightfully odd Quacklbeen, this one fell a little flat (no pun intended) for me. Sweet with very heavy handed carbonation that made it really hard to pick out the malt character spoken of in the aroma. Band aid phenols were prominent as it warmed.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 sayravai (4655) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 17, 2012
(Bottled 10/2010) Hazy dark red-amber with a largeish, foamy head. Neutral, lightly caramely maltiness with dry tartness in the nose. Flavor is neutral-malty, tart and caramely, with grainy-smoky notes. Yeast brings some notes of dried fruit along. Medium body, foamy CO2. The house flavor is there, but the effect of whisky malt seems quite subtle, and there’s little else of interest here. No serious faults, either. 4255
