Färgmässig är den som den ska vara, vätskan kunde varit en aning tjockare. Doften: Malt, choklad och kanske en liten gnutta vanilj. Smaken: Lite tunn tyvärr, men mörk choklad och kola tyckte jag hitta.

Pours a dark brown colour with a beautiful brown head. Lacy. Aroma of roasted malts and most importantly, chocolate. Flavour of roasted malts, mild caramel and lots of chocolate and dark coffee [1]. Full bodied, oily texture. Very good.

[1] Vegetables sometimes, if it’s a bad batch.

Bottle, Marian Helmi Bar, Helsinki. My first Finnish beer of the trip and the highest rated beer on here seemed like a good enough place to kick off proceedings. Near enough black pour which seemed to mirror the mood of the barmaid nicely, with a dark brown head. Rich roasty nose with notes of molasses. Flavour was roasted malt aplenty and had a burnt character and traces of dark chocolate and coffee. Pleasingly lingering finish. Great balance here and if this beer was a footballer I guess he’d be Jari Litmanen....

Very nice. Dark and creamy malty chocolaty and molasses. Nicely balanced. Serving: Bottle

Palate is full body,very nice smooth and creamy texture, good carbonation. Finish is creamy, chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and caramel, a touch of licorice, with some light bitter hops to add some balance. Overall a very nice and smooth BP. Very tasty and enjoyable.
