500ml bottle bought at Alko Arkadia in Helsinki almost a year ago. Deep, motor oily pour revealing a very dark body colour with a rusty tint. Brownish head, some of it remaining and leaving fragile lacing behind. Smells good of velvet dark malts and dark fruity hops. Vanilla oak in flavour successfully joined by earthy, dark malts and dusty hops inserted by degrees of anise. Solid ending of dark, bitter hops. Warming and excellent as a sipper on a dark Saturday eve. Greetings to Hanniku who I had the pleasure of meeting last August in London (Tromsø, 28.01.2012).

Bottle at Olutravintola Pikkulintu. Pours black with small dark head. Strong bourbon vanilla aroma and flavor. The strong bitterness and slight chemical aroma/flavor of the original are placed by a beautiful sweetness. Best Finnish beer for me. (Rated 2011/04/24)

Bottle, shared by fonefan. A black beer with a dense, tan head. Some booze on the nose, but mostly roasted malts and chocolate, not to forget the lovely hops. Sweet flavor with some vanilla notes and booze, lots of chocolate and roasted malts, a good hoppy, piney bitter flavor. Full-bodied and warming. The lasting finish has alcohol, roasted malts and coffee. A wonderful beer, tasteful and really pleasant. 100814

Bottled, thanks Hanniku! Very black,beige head. Distinct woody nose. Fairly sweet and full bodied with plenty of licorice, coffee and whiskey, as well as notes of tobacco. Really well balanced, flavourful without being agressive. Great beer!

500ml Bottle (Thanks Hanniku) - Black with a tan head. Hops, coffee, liquorice and whisky feature in the aroma. The taste is hoppy and roasted with liquorice, plain chocolate, soapy hops and liquorice detected. Very tasty.

Bottled 500ml vintage 2010 (Plevna)
Opaque black color, small brown foam. Oak, vanilla, bourbon, licorice and roasted malts in the nose. Also some leathery notes. Served a bit too cold. Full-bodied. Normal Siperia’s hoppyness is blended in this brew with mellow bourbon and oak. Licorice, rubber and burned malts. Pretty succesful barrel-ageing although a bit too burned for my liking. Could be slightly more mellow (like eg. Kaggen). Congrats to Hannu for 10k. These barrels continue their life now at Beer Hunters, where they are used for ageing single malt whisky!
