Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

A red-brown beer with medium carbonation. Distinct bubbles in the short-lived head, enough to get the aroma going. Roasty sweetness, yeasty citrus, fresh cherry, maybe pine. Heavy on alcohol, but it is matched by the rich sweet flavour. A foamy stickyness develops later on. This beer has some complexities that are hard to grasp and may only work well when enjoyed with some food. Very decent.

Brown with very little fizzy tan head. Aroma is of cinnamon-raisin toast. Flavor is bready malt, raisin, slight tart and baking apple bread yeastiness. Delicious! I loved this beer- good carbonated mouthfeel. 10%abv well-hidden.

Bottled @ Punavuoren Ahven. . Appearance is like clear coca-cola’ish coffee. Aroma is malty, blackberrish and alcoholish, unpleasant. Taste is disappointing to me. Dark yeasty malts and alcohol, pretty much nothing else...

On tap. A amber red beer with good head. A good beer with spicy and fruit notes specially on cassis, but with watery notes even if the beer has ten degrees !! Good caramel body, a bit boring.

Bottle from Beer Mania. Nice dark amber body with frothy head. Nose is malty and roasty. Taste quite sweet of malts, dark berries and alcohol, and bitter in the finish. Texture rich.

Pours brown with a moderate light brown head. Nose is genetic belgian strong, with brown sugar, a little hops, and a litte spice. Flavor is virtualy identical. Good stufff.

Reddish colour. Aroma of spices and cherries. Flavour is alcohol, sherry, spices, and berries. Sour and somewhat sweet. Gives you a nice, warming feeling just like a winter seasonal should.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with a off-white head. Aroma is caramel, fruity and alcohol. Taste is lightly bitter and light sweetness.
