Jukkabro (2463), Tampere, Finland Sep 27, 2008 Dark red-brown colored with cloudy appearance. Medium sized light brown head. Chocolate and grains in sweet aroma, mild raisins also here. Medium bodied. Flavor is more grainy with sweetness still dominating. Aftertaste dries mildly with some alcohol and raisins. Well, basic one.
CapedBrewsader (197), Brasschaat, Belgium Oct 6, 2008 33cl. bottle at home: Pours a hazy dark copper with almost no head, just a thin wispy tan film. Sweet caramel nose with traces of wet newspaper and a touch of roast (without and burnt qualities). Plum and fig jam and raw cane sugar come in stronger as time goes by. Initially it is quite sweet when it hits your tongue. Again, caramel and cane sugar. The light roast that was noticeable on the nose comes in and starts to dry it out. The carbonation is quite high and takes the roast towards a cola flavor. CO2 can be biting at times. Sugar comes back in but not as heavy. Mixes with rum soaked raisins and plum liquer and rides to a long finish with touches of cola. Gets a big heavy with the rum raisin and some cardboard towards the end of the glass. fonefan (5507), Ulfborg, Denmark Sep 9, 2008 <b>Bottle 33cl @ [ Tasting in Ulfborg ].</b><br />Clear medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head.
