sayravai (2964), Helsinki, Finland Apr 11, 2008 (Draught@HBF2008) Very dark brown with a small, creamy head. Mild aroma with wine roasty malt, and hints of licorice. Roasty-licoricey, mildly milky-sour flavor with ashy hints and some sweetness in the finish. Medium to full body with soft carbonation. A very decent porter, but with the final touch missing.
lada66 (20), Savonlinna, Finland Jun 28, 2008 Not bad. A little bit sweeter than the regular version. A good balance between malts and hops. mjs (391), Finland May 11, 2008 (Draught at HBF2008) Black and clear. Light brown head which disappeared quickly. Yeasty nose. Full and bit dry palate. Pleasant sweet and a bit roasty taste. Bitterness from hops balances the sweetness. Miksu (1154), Jyväskylä, Finland Apr 25, 2008 Draught at Helsinki Beer Festival 2008. Black color with creamy tan head. Soft chocolate roast, toffee and green apple in the aroma. Dark chocolate, toffee and caramel in the flavor. Unfortunately green apple flavor covers some of the finer details. Jukkabro (2307), Tampere, Finland Apr 20, 2008 Near black colored with red hints, little beige head. Sweet and roasted, mildly berry-porterish and licoricy aroma, fine one. Medium bodied. Flavor is also rather sweet with chocolate and caramel, roastiness lasts with mild hops and alcohol in drying aftertaste. oh6gdx (4956), Vaasa, Finland Apr 15, 2008 Draught. Deep ruby colour, not much head. Aroma is roasted malts, some quite earthy notes as well as some hints of nuts. Flavour is roasted malts, some sour/cidic notes of fruit and old coffee. Also slight notes of some licorice. Tastes quite much like a sweet stout, but anyway, hides the 7 % well and is well drinkable.
