brunnsbe (50), Helsinki, Finland Feb 14, 2008 (Draught@St.Urho) Finally an excellent beer from Huvila. A really smooth well balanced Imperial Stout that doesn’t try to be something remarkable by having a great amount of hops or too much roastiness. I heard that yeast used by the brewery couldn’t go higher than 9%, although it was supposed to be even stronger.

Almost black with a tiny head. Sweet and fruity aroma - dark berries and over-ripe bananas. Smooth sweet mouthfeel. Huge, but also soft sweet taste, with a big chocolate-cake punch. As it warms, the alcohol lifts winey aromas to your nose with every sip - very pleasant. Lots of malty body and more over-ripe bananas as well as the chocolate. Absolute corker from possibly Finland’s finest brewer. mirjukka (436), LOHJA, Finland Feb 14, 2008 Updated: Sep 7, 2008keg at St Urho’s Pub Porter and stout days

lada66 (21), Savonlinna, Finland May 27, 2008 The sweetest ale from Huvila so far. A traditional stout exept the sweetness. The name will tell you everything. Try with a chocolate cake, it works. Jukkabro (2405), Tampere, Finland Mar 26, 2008 Near black colored with little beige head. Strongly sweet aroma with dominating licorice, roastiness and berries also present. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is rather sweet also, as dessert stout should: licorice and this mild roastiness, these berries also come up. Aftertaste dries mildly with warming alcohol and some sourness from berries. Fine stout, still some more hops would fit in.
