3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled (from Alko, Vaasa). Clear amber colour, small beige cream head. Aroma is fruits, yeast, some alcohol and mild notes of spices. Flavour is alcohol, raisins, fruits, spices and some mild earth. Rather sweet. I lack the yeast that makes the beer hazy.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught (Porvoo BF2009)
Milky and curious aroma - part savoury, part sweet and belgian, and a touch of alcohol. Resiny hoppy taste - meaty retronasals. Big hoppy bitter body. Spicy. Leaves me unimpressed, alas.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Draught at Sadonkorjuu, Porvoo) Amber and lightly hazy. Small white head. Sweetness, spices and honey in aroma. Medium bodied and bit sticky palate with medium carbonation. Fruitiness, sweetness, honey, malts, grass, spiciness and bitterness in taste. Sweet and lightly bitter aftertaste.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: OCT 27, 2009 (Bottled) Much better and more tasty in bottle. Sourish Belgian Strong Ale meets Sahti. Reminds me of Nørrebro Old Odense Ale. Good stuff!
(Draught@Sadonkorjuu, Porvoo, was 7-4-6-4-13=3.4) Hazy amber with a small, firm head. Slightly sour aroma with cardamom spiciness and some yeast. Flavor is smooth-n-yeasty with mellow fruitiness and mild spices - quite Leffe-like. Smooth, medium-bodied, soft-carbonated. A nice and clean Leffe clone, but lacking in complexity.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught 0.2L at Sadonkorjuu 2009, Pale head. Mild belge type nose. Spicy slightly sour taste. Slightly sweet. Clear golden yellow colour. Mild hoppiness.
