Bottle at home, from some online peddler, 15/05/21. Flavoured other ... WANK style ... try harder. Black with a good sized tan covering. Nose is sweet malts, vanilla, light spice, chocolate, lemon rind, brown sugar melt. Taste comprises sweet malts, brown sugar melt, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate, light herb, boozey dance.. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of booze. Drinks fine if overly sweet for my liking. Gave this beer extra points as loving the expert moaners low scores and eggspurt palates at werk ... ha ha ha ... it's probs a 3.6 / 3.7 for me tbh but feel like I want to balance out the HateBeer.cum mob.

Black beer, solid light brown head. Sharp aroma of sugary citrus. The flavour is a bit of a mess of over the top sweetness and lactose. There's some lemon and malt and vanilla but it's sickly and too strong. Really disappointing. The worst thing I've had by Pohjala by a very long way.

Black and oily with a dark head that fades out quickly. Aroma and flavour are sickly sweet. Fruit syrup and vanilla. It's way over the top and difficult to drink because of the sweetness.
