bierkoning (7776) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - AUG 25, 2008
Can from Tbone, thanks! Deep dark brown color. Apple syrup and a hint of roast in the aroma. Sweet apple syrup flavor with licorice and ash. Just not my taste.

Dark brown colour. Pale brown head. Looks like espresso coffee. A quite sour taste. Also some maltiness and coffee and slight sweetness in the taste. A 0.5L can from local shop.

MitchWayne (263) - Kokkola, FINLAND - AUG 15, 2008
Sweet coffee aroma, sweet malty coffee taste, some dry bitterness in the finnish. Mouthfeel is oily and smooth. A very good beer among the more mediocre ones from this brewery, quite simple and one note but at least on key.

tuevo (14) - Jyväskylä, FINLAND - AUG 11, 2008
0,5 l can. Very dark and reddish brown color. Slight aroma of coffee and hops. Great roasted taste with coffee and some fruits - probably olives. Soft, oily palate and a bit sticky too. Good beer from Sinebrychoff but not a masterpiece.

can 500ml 2,15€ from S-Market EXP 070509 color: murky black reddish huge lasting head Taste: nice coffee ,chocolate roasted malts and hops too. A bit watery. Nice after sauna beer. This was my favorite when it came first time in to market, but I am not able to stop drinking just one label. I need new experiences.

Can 0,5l. Black colored. Modest aroma of coffee. A large beige head that lasted. Soft mouthfeel. Flavor of chocolate and coffee. Some bitterness. A bit watery but quite good. A "Koff porter light".
