Draught @ OlutExpo 2015
Pours dark brown with a smooth head. Aroma of berries, ripe fruits, malts and caramel. Taste is sweet, sticky and ripe fruity with some caramel, syrup and berries. Finish is sweet and sugary with some syrupy notes. Decent.

Bottle at The Oak Barrel, HEL. Brown color, small steady beige head. Aroma of raisins, date and barley. Medium-bodied. Sweetish raisiny flavor. Nutty, plummy, fruit cake, tickling alcohol. Quadrupelish. It’s been a while when I had this kind of beer. Super tasty.

Bottled@Kaisla, Helsinki. Very deep ambery black colour, small beige head. Aroma is liquorice, alcohol, nice sweet malts, toffee, and a wee bit of fudge. Flavour is ripe fruits, some toffee, nectar, alcohol, toffee and mild wooden notes. Quite nice already now, but I think this is better as a saver, as it will most likely develop a bit.
