2/9/2022. Bottle shared by SHIG, cheers. Finland rating #50. Pours very dark brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, drinking chocolate, dark fruits, berries, vanilla coffee, hint of spice. Medium sweetness, light bitterness, touch of berry tart. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Nicely done.

Flaska från Finland. Svart med lite brunbeige krona. Doftar av toffee, rostade och lite brända toner, kaffe, skogiga toner. Lite mjuk ton och sötma i smaken från laktos och vanilj. Svårt att helt ringa in lingonen, annat än möjligen lingonris. Finns en lite skogig ton/beska som av granskott och enbärsris.

Panda 🐼 at home thanks to SHIG. A opaque dark black brown coloured pour with a decent magnolia head. Aroma is nutty hazelnut, chcolate malts, some coconut, some toffee. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, creamy coconut, vanilla, hazelnut spread, milk chocolate, coco pops. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, creamy, moderate carbonation. Nice stuff. Didn't get much lingoberry, maybe little tartness.

--Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! -- Near black, small head. Aroma of dark bread and coffee. Dry with light body and crisp mouthfeel. Dark bread with hints of coöd coffee, vanilla and lingonberries. Low to medium bitterness. The first beer ever where vanilla addition is at balance?
