50cl from Stockmann Herkku, Helsinki. Pours clear amber with a modest, off-white head. Mild grainy aroma with notes of caramel and hints of spices. Medium sweet with rather low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness.

Canned (from Sale Palosaari, Vaasa). Amber colour, mediumsized beige creamy head. Aroma is mild spices, some banana and sweet malts at first. Same goes for flavour. So far so nice. BUT. It turns into horror after a few more sips. Everything just starts feeling very artificial and the bitterness gets an ugly edge to it. In fact, drink as cold as possible. Even 9 C is too warm for this, as all the shit in it gets out.

Can 500ml (S-Market Pori)
Amber colour, small steady beige head. Very caramelly, caramalty aroma with some berries. Light to medium-bodied. Quite sweet, caramelly flavour, lots of crystal malts. Some harsh Saimaan's fingerprints even in this beer with oat. Aftertaste has some spicey hops. Typical Scandinavian winter Vienna. Tolerable, ok with salty food.
