Very bitter aroma, and taste fills the mouth and lasts a long time. Ginger prominent. Good for any time of year.

UPDATED: JAN 4, 2007 Draught at SBWF 06 as Höstbryg. I wonder if this is the one. The aroma and flavour are sour, but OK balanced out by some malt.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Bishop’s Arms
Black color; creamy head. Nice and delicate aroma of roasted malt, with Digestive cookies and light hops. Medium-light body, the flavor is basically from the roasted malt, with a touch of acidity deriving. The final is bitter with too much burnt sugar. Not bad, but too monodimensional for me.

Draught @ Svenska Dagar, Pikkulintu, Finland. Very sweet aroma of dough and dark... yeast? Almost completely black colour, thick head. Bitter taste of grape fruit. Medium-length finish.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Draught@Pikkulintu, Helsinki) Very dark reddish brown with a medium, creamy and foamy, lacy head. Slightly sweetish, roasted-malty aroma with licorice. Licoricey, slightly burned, but mostly roasted-malty flavor. Nothing spectacular, but a fine, enjoyable and pleasantly low-abv stout, without excess color malt. Nice!
