473ml bottle @ Ruoholahti Beer Festival. Sweetish, earthy and slightly roasty with loads of tea, hints of herbs, coffee and spices. A bit strange.

47,3 cl bottle @Β Ruoholahti Beer Festival 2018
Aroma has sweet sugary tones and licorice. Also oat. Flavour has oaty notes, licorice, some mild salty tones and hints of herbs in the background. Good, but lacks something to reach the top.

16 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 12/14/2017. Pours opaque dark brown/black color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, earl grey tea, mint, orange, lemon, lime, citrus zest, nuttiness, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aroma with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt and earl grey tea notes; with solid strength. Taste of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, earl grey tea, mint, orange, lemon, lime, citrus zest, nuttiness, and toasted dark/brown bread; with light notes of dark fruit, smoke, char, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/roast/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy spice and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, earl grey tea, mint, orange, lemon, lime, citrus zest, nuttiness, toasted dark/brown bread, light smoke/char, herbal, floral, grass, yeast/roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and earl grey tea flavors; with a nice roast/tea bitter/sweet balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering spice/roast dryness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6.4%. Overall this is a delicious spiced American porter. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt and earl grey tea flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Great well rounded porter malt complexity; with big presence of the citrusy/earthy tea flavors, but never overwhelming. A very enjoyable and unique offering. Never had anything like it before. Very well made for the base style.
