Tap at brewdog Tallinn. Pours dark brown-black. Aroma is sweet, spices, booze, and malt. Flavor follows the nose. Overall: quite standard Mikkeller Santa's Little Helper, no idea why they are separated by vintage (the label of the bottle even doesn't mention it anymore...)

200ml draught at Mikkeller CPH. Deep rustic body, spotty lacing, almost naked at the surface. Spiced dark malty nose, hints of alcohol. Taste of caramel malts with a touch of cinnamon. Dark malty ending, rather sweet. Noticeable, warming alcohol. Pleasing. (Kastrup Airport 26.11.2018).
