UPDATED: FEB 23, 2008 9.3 fl oz bottle, thanks to BelJohansen. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off-whit head. Thick winerous aroma. Almost woody aroma to flavour. Flavour is dry malty with a very subdued woody note. Nice lingering finish. Solid and overripe flavour with a nice malt base. Nice.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Good caramel , sweet molasas, tobacco aroma. Brown body but held to light a dark orange body color and no head at all flat. Flavor was flat also bit watery at times but the sweet caramel kept yoou interested in this one.. High alcol content adds little warming to your body but not too much of a factor.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml Bottle (2002 Vintage) from Pikkulintu, Helsinki-. Dark brown/copper coloured which is slightly hazy. Malty, grainy aroma with a bit of sweetness. The taste is malty and sweet. Like FatPhil says, I feel this is little bit past its best but still stands up fairly well.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) 2002 vintage.
Rich orangy red, no head. Sweet malty aroma, very promising. Unfortunately perhaps this was just a little too old, as the taste also had a slightly sour tang to it. Also something waxy, and maybe naphtha. The sourness makes it tangy which is a little off-putting. I’m guessing this had a lot of potential to excel, but rating it just as very good.
