Kalaspåsköl 2010-
(has 2 batches)

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, 20110422) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, molasses and mildly roastedness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, herbalness, malts, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste was roasty and bitter. A flawless brew that lacked all the edges that would have made the beer more interesting and better.

Bottle. Pours red brown with a head that only lasts for seconds. The aroma is rather unpleasant of steeamed vegitables. Tastes OK with some chcolate, chessnuts and light rosted malt.

Bottle. Pours copper with a lousy white head. Notes of rotten vegtables, dung, marzipan and a small smokeiness in the aroma. The taste is a lot more pleasant. Marzipan, wet hops and some smoked malt.

Malty, toasty taste with dark bread, caramel, ryvita, wort and dark fruit. Some citrussy hops shine through in a fairly spicy and fresh finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Hops are a bit toned down compared to other versions of Kalasöl, giving way to bready malt and wort. Quite nice.
