Bottle from Alko, Kemi. Part of small brewery beer sortiment 2013. Clear, deep copper colour. White, dissapearing bubbly head. Faint aroma of caramel malts with wooden notes and house flavour (everyone should know this by now). Taste has wood, malts and guess what, the house flavour. Theres some grassy hops too. Decent body. I don’t actually know if it’s better or worse than the lower ABV version but glad i’s propably a special one-time brew only.

Pours clear copper-amber color with a small rapidly dissipating head. Aroma of stalk, some faint caramel, mild nutty notes, distant floral hops and some mild fruits.
