Bottled (from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Deep red colour with a mediumsized creamy white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, coffee, toffee and some toasted and spicy tones. Flavour is toasted malts, some dark dried fruits, mild caramel, toffee, a bit alcohol with some herbal tones. Feels a bit empty, more sugar, less ingredients in this vintage?

750ml bottle. Pours very dark brown with a dense beige head, great retention. Aroma is malty, dark fruits, brown sugar. Taste is malty, caramel, brown sugar, dried fruits, spice (coriander I assume), not too sweet, warming alcohol. Medium-full body, soft carbonation. Lovely as a winter warmer. Didn't get any of the orange peel though.

Bottle from Pivný raj Helping out Santa after few of these may be actually mission impossible. Not saying about hangover next day. This is great sipper with alcohol hidden so deep one will not realize it until it's too late. Good night friends.
