Can, 0.44l. Deep amber pour, one finger creamy off-white head, long lasting. Sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, malty, toasted caramel, fruity notes in the background. Medium to full body, flat carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, thick and chewy, very nice and easily drinkable. Nicely balanced taste, malty sweet with subtle roasty bitterness. Aroma of toasted caramel, dried fruits, rye bread. Subtle coffee notes in the background. Medium lasting finish, slightly dry, subtle lingering bitterness. Enjoyable.

Can (from KCM Päivölä Seinäjoki). Deep copper colour with a mediumsized supercreamy slightly off-white head, which leaves good lace. Aroma is floral hops, mild berries, spruce and some slight toffee tones. Flavour is berries, wood, some floral hops, mild spruce and some toffeeish tones. Silky smooth palate with a very creamy tasting head. Actually looks better than Guinness...
