(Keg at Ølhus København, Helsinki, 20151007) The beer poured dark brown and rather clear. Its head was small and nearly white. Aroma had herbs, berries and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were berries, juniper, gooseberries, spruce sprouts, sweetness and spiciness. Aftertaste was spicy and rather bitter. An interesting brew. A two decilitre portion was rather good but more may have turned too extreme.
