| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 1, 2007 Draft @ Plevna. Dark brown hue with reddish tints and a light tan, foamy head. Aroma is quite smoky with notes of dark bread, fresh herbs, slightly burnt toast, maillard reactions and roast. Flavour beings moderately sweet with a light bitterness and finishes with a soft sweetness and a moderate bitterness, mainly from the roasty character. The smoke isn’t as pronounced in the flavour, yeilding more to the breads and sugars. Medium bodied with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. Jukkabro (3042), Tampere, Finland

Flavor is even more roasted with slight chocolate, Plevna-flowery character from hops here also. Roastiness and coffee last long in aftertaste with bitter hops. Soft palated. Nicely balanced dunkel.
