Tap at Bruuveri, Helsinki. Murky brown color, small steady white head. Caramel-plummy aroma. Medium-bodied. Funny Belgian dubbel feeling in front: plum, brown sugar. Then hits aggressive spicey-piney hoppyness. Oddball. Not traditional ESB.

A murky, coppery beer, a head is small and blond. Aroma has toffee, overriped fruits, red currants, yeast and hint of wood. Heavy. Taste has red currands and berries, some caramel, medium bitterness is slightly herbal. Medium bodied, low carbonation. The strong red currants, not so good and too heavy beer.

Tap at Bruuveri, Helsinki. Colour is very cloudy light brown with small white head. I highly doubt this is same batch as sold in bottles in Alko. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, dryness, toffee, caramel and malts. Not bad.
