500 ml bottle, bb 31/10/2018, from my EU Local Swap sender japppp, thanks!
Dark copper body, with a medium, creamy, beige head.
Aroma of vegetables, smoke, spices, cocoa, sour berries, tobacco.
Tastes of smoke, sour berries, cocoa, caramel, tobacco, some liquorice, spices, some hops.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes spicy, dry, smokey, subtly sweet, with cocoa, some liquorice, some fruits.

Nice one. I don’t like the nose too much, pretty strange. Taste is quite nice though, with an interesting smokey, fruity and malty mix. Interesting stuff, while not something I would drink too often.

Hazy medium to deep amber colour, very small but fairly long lasting frothy beige head, light lacing. Fruity nose, aroma toasted malts, apple, caramel, sugar syrup, spices. Flavour medium sweet and bitter, roasted, caramel, light fruity, more malty bitterness in the middle part, still with fruity notes, leading to a dry bitter woody finish with earthy, herbal and peppery notes, bit astringent. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation; rich and rather complex in aroma and taste, quite good actually.

Kirkas, syvän rubiininpunainen ja ruskeaan kallellaan oleva olut hyvin pienellä nopeasti häviävällä vaahdolla. Tuoksu makean maltainen, ruisleipämäinen, hieman portviinimäinen ja jopa aavistuksen luumuinen. Katajankin pystyy tuoksusta bongaamaan. Kivasti jouluinen fiilis, mutta ei överiksi vedettynä. Maku heti alkuunsa kermaisen pehmeä mutta samalla varsin täyteläisellä suutuntumalla. Vahvan maltainen, ruisleipämäinen, rusinainen. Jälkimaultaan hieman suolainen sekä aavistuksen yrttisen katkeroitu. Toimiva kokonaisuus.

Piwo z minimalna piana grubo pecherzykowa nie oblepiajaca szkla. Kolor brazowo miedziany, lekko metny. Zapach toffi, krowki i inne slodkosci. W smaku dochodzą cukierki werters orginal, trochę herbaty czarnej, ziolowej, tymianek, jagody także sa. Ciekawe posmaki drzewne, kora sosnowa w zapachu dość intensywna, trochę drewniane w smaku jakby było starzone w beczkach debowych. Sporo slodkosci i wyczuwalny niestetry alkohol, ale gorycz niewielka także była zwłaszcza w drugiej fazie po przelknieciu. Sahti trochę inaczej, ale fajne.

Bottle. Pours hazy chestnut brown with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel, with touches of vanilla and yeast. Sweetish flavour of malt and caramel, with fruity and estery notes and bitter, hoppy touches. Hints of tar and juniper. Bitter and estery aftertaste. A nice one, although the carbonation could be higher.
