Draught@Bruuveri
Dark ruby-brown color, small beige head. Sticky Worcester-sauce aroma. Medium-bodied and quite watery palate for 8.6%. Nutty, caramelly, slightly alcoholic and spicey flavor. Taste is ok and nice to have a bit different Bruuveri brew.

(Draught at Bruuveri, 20110325) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts, hops and mildly roastedness. Palate was full bodied, a little bit dry and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, hops, hint of chocolate, mildly roastedness and medium bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. One of the better Bruuveri beers, not over-hoppy and otherwise quite balanced, too.
