(Keg at Black Door, 20140411) The beer poured mahogany coloured and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramel, molasses and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were caramel, grass, molassess, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A decent malty brew but harsh.

Tap at Black Door. Clear deep ruby color, small beige head. Aroma is caramelly, "minty" and berryish. Light-bodied to medium-bodied. Flavor has Caramalt, bready notes and light bitterness. Quite cloying berryish sweetness in the finish. Not fan of this, too much caramel.

Draught@Black Door, Helsinki. Reddish orange/copper colour, small white head. Aroma is crystal malts, some toffee, biscuits and quite much floral and grassy notes as well. Flavour is fruity, floral and crystal malty along with some toffee and some grassy bitterness towards the finish. This would be nice without a that strong profile from the crystal malts.
