Draught. Close to black colour with a small brown head. Aroma is sherry, some red wine like tones along with roast, some chocolate, alcohol and mild brown sugary elements. Flavour is roasted, some sherry tones, mild sugary tones with some dry wooden tones. Smooth, even though the alcohol is quite warming in this.

On tap at Suuret Oluet Pienet Panimot - Tampere, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out lots of sherry barrels, lots of wood and medium roast. Flavour is really woody, with a lovely sherry character, with medium roast. Wonderfully woody and vinous character. Quite a step from the regular Sofia. Excellent.

SOPP, Turku. A black, almost without head. Aroma has liquorice, some coffee, low dried fruitness. Taste has barrel, dried fruits, liquorice. Full bodied, low carbonation. The barrel is too dominating, not so good as the basic version.

(Keg at SOPP Helsinki 2017) The beer poured black. No head. Aroma had wood, burnt malts and mildly vineousness. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, vanilla, mildly vineousness and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt, woody and bitter. A tasty barrel aged brew.
