(Keg at Bryggeri Helsinki, 20141205) The beer poured very dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized, lightly brown and it lasted quite long. Aroma had malts, caramel, dried plum and sweetness. Palate was rather full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, green apples, sweetness, dried plum and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. Aroma was very good but the taste had components that weren’t in my liking. I’m not sure would aging help.

Draught @ OlutExpo 2014

Pours reddish brown with no head. Aroma of berries, malts, toffee, syrup, yeast and raisins. Taste is sweet, yeasty and malty with loads of berries, strawberry and syrup. Finish is sweet, stuffy and syrupy with some berries and toffee. A strawberry overdose.

Draught @ Olut Expo Finland 2014Aroma has rather strong and sweet strawberry tones. And quite nothing else. Flavour is somewhat acidic with sweet strawberries and hints of gastric acid. One strawberry kissel.Draught @ the brewpub. Green apples and strawberries, a bit acidic. Alcohol is present and disturbs a bit and strawberries are not that strong. But no big changes after the previous rating.
