What the heck have they done to this? Butter, mustard, cabbage. Quite acidic. This is rank.

330ml bottle (Mallaskukko, Turku)
Rich amber, small head. Vanilla, oak, malt, butter, whisky, ... Oh screw it, words cannot describe this beer, it’s just so mellow and smooth and warm and inviting. Beautiful. Maria (6167), Thisted, Denmark
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 1, 2007 Warm amber and a nice, golden head. The aroma has notes of vanilla and freshly chipped oak. The flavour has the same notes and a sweetness and a note of tannic acid and citrus. The sweetness and vanilla is a biit too dominant for me. Quack-Duck (3167), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 23, 2007 Bottle. Honey colored is appropriate. Pours clear with a thin, white, soapy head that disappeared in about a minute. The aroma was light but pleasant with notes of toffee and oak. The flavor was subtle and quite nice with vanilla, toffee and oak all present. A touch of scotch whiskey flavor at the finsh with some very light warming as well. Very easy to drink with a smooth, full mouthfeel. Enjoyable. PorterPounder (3136), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2007 Marietta, Ga. - Bullocks Wine and Spirits - 11.2 fl oz bottle. Sparkling medium copper pour, tight white head. Intoxicating aroma of vanilla and smoked oak. Sweet flavor - pick up some vanilla, marshamllows and a hint of scotch. Very smooth and drinkablle and could turn cloying if not careful - but does not. Thick, creamy mouthfeel - very clean tasting. I really enjoyed this one. scanovajr (361), Stanford, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 14, 2007 Bottled. Amber color with a nice creamy head. Aroma is oak. Taste is sweet, malty and wood. Nice mouthfeel. Dry and alcoholic end. Nice beer ChainGangGuy (2549), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 10, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a foamy white head and great lacing. Disregarding the use of clear glass, the bottle is rather attractive.
Smell: This aroma is all about the whiskey. Soft touches of buttered bread, wood, and sugary vanilla are also evident.
Taste: The whiskey quality shows up as soon as you open the bottle, and as soon as it touches your tongue. Features some malty caramel, lemon, and pepper with a mountainous amount of oak in the flavor. Finish is distinctly wooden, with strong notes of vanilla bean.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Amply carbonated.
Drinkability: A singularly unique beer that’s best enjoyed slowly.
