mile (2106) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 5, 2013
Bottle. Dark brown, cloudy, average to large and mostly diminishing head. Moderate to full, malty and sweetish aroma, fruitiness, caramel and spiciness (aniseed, some licorice - pepper) and some dark fruitiness. Body is moderate to full, malty and sweetish flavor, some caramel and spiciness, light roasted malt and light dark fruitiness. Finish is average to long, malty and sweetish, some roasted malt and some caramel and some spiciness, light fruitiness, faint hoppyness and alcohol. Sweetish strong ale, roastiness together with alcohol make the finish bit drier - not overly too sweet/spicy.

SperkeleForce (134) - FINLAND - FEB 4, 2013
Bottle 75 cl. Pours black red with a big foamy head. Taste is more to notes of coffee, dark bread, plums and some raisins. First pretty light taste, aftertaste is where the aromas lie. Would expect more taste from a dark beer tho.
