Deep red-ruby color, no head. Strawberry, cut grass, smokey wood, fruit sugar in the nose - what a mix. Liquerish palate. Sweet berries, strong wine (Finnish Gambina), some sourness, lots of Madeira wine and Moscatel. Excellent dessert wine ... err .. beer I mean. Aged very well, doesn’t feel like 12% anymore.

[2002 vintage, session @ yespr] Hazy dark amber with tiny head. Sweet vinious aroma with prunes, plums, dates and port notes. Sweet flavor with overripe fruits, port, madeira and alcohol notes. Very complex and the agening has done it well. Lovely.

9.3 fl oz bottle, thanks to BelJohansen. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off-whit head. Thick winerous aroma. Almost woody aroma to flavour. Flavour is dry malty with a very subdued woody note. Nice lingering finish. Solid and overripe flavour with a nice malt base. Nice.

330ml Bottle (2002 Vintage) from Pikkulintu, Helsinki-. Dark brown/copper coloured which is slightly hazy. Malty, grainy aroma with a bit of sweetness. The taste is malty and sweet. Like FatPhil says, I feel this is little bit past its best but still stands up fairly well.

Purchased at Embassy Liquors in Richland, MI 05/07. Pours a brownish murky copper with zero head. The aroma is pretty full with a mixture of red wine grapes, sweet plums, hints of over ripe cantaloupe, hint of olive brine, alcohol and a just a bit of earthy woodiness. The beer has zero carbonation creating an un beer like mouth feel. The bubble-less fluid starts with a slight olive note and then becomes fruity with dark grapes, sweet plums, tart wine tannin and cherries. Then an undercurrent of sweetness and caramel takes over briefly. As the finish approaches a dryness takes the moisture away with a red wine flavor and tannin tartness.
