Draught (Kuikka, Helsinki) Oi! Tranquility, this is where you had yours! Yours? It was mine!!! Mostly hoppy aroma, some nuttiness. Served too cold. Hoppy, but not interesting.

JoeMcPhee (6966) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 30, 2007
Cask at Market Porter. Deep amber beer with a thin lace. Nice sweet caramelly aroma (even a little bit worty). Some very faint chocolate and a light cherry fruitiness. Flavour is a bit earthy and mushroomy with a soft caramelly background. Nice malty complexity. Rich and fairly sweet, but not cloying. Toasty, with just enough earthy bitterness to balance.
