Elegantly Balanced Dark Strong Ale with Raisins.
A collaboration between the established and and the freshman, tradition and trend, Solo and Kykao! A combination of brewing from Northern Europe with winemaking from Southern Europe!
The result is a Belgian Dark Strong ale with raisins, fermented with a mix of beer and wine yeast strains, that celebrates each one of these elements.

6th Floor bottleshare. Thanks to me. Almost opaque dark brown beer, tiny pale tan head that doesn't last a jiffy. Smooth but surprisingly light and semi dry palate. Decent fine carbonation. Slightly boozy ripe fruits, some spice. Brighter fruits on the back end, ripe apricot. Some spice on the semi dry finish. No esters! Rich but quite light and gets away with the 16% very well indeed.

Bottle, 75cl corked. An unclear dark brown beer with some bubbles on top. Quite oily. Intense aroma, dark dried fruit, raisin mostly, oak, alcohol, some roasted malts, a good dash of dark chocolate and lots of generic fruityness. Cocoa, coffee notes, plums. It's full bodied and warming, smooth, with a good sweetness. Tannins. Dark dried fruit, cocoa, chocolate, sherry, roasted notes and alcohol, blue plums, some piney hints and a good dash of oak. Everlasting finish. Delicious indeed, and demanding to drink. Enjoyable. 230325

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 11.11.2030, at Pikkulintu Kontula, 20221129) The beer poured nearly black and cloudy. Its head was small and nearly white. Aroma had malts, dark fruits, figs and raisins. Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, raisins, molasses, dark chocolate and bitterness. Aftertaste had raisins, toasted malts and bitterness. A tasty malty brew.

Bottle. Color: Murky brown, no head. Aroma: Caramel, malty, grapes, raisins, Port. Taste: Syrupy, caramel, raisins, grapes, Sherry / Port, dark fruit, dark chocolate and licorice. Over medium to full body, low carbonation. Boozy towards and at the finish. Medium to over medium sweet, over moderate bitterness. Ok, but no top for me.

750 bottle from Fin at Christmas. Dark brown, no head, nice legs on the side of the glass. Syrupy raisiny nose, bready caramel, smells very complex. Flavor is like dry Lotus biscuits with caramel coating. A little bit hot/alcoholic but what do you expect with 16%; hints of soy. Nice hop bitterness balances the sweetness. Massive and delicious beer!
