Bottled@Gustav Wasa, Vaasa. Copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is spruce, big time herbs and some slight spiciness. Flavour is spruce, some caramel malts, lots of herbal touches and rather much forest feel over it. Refreshing and rather different.

0,33l can from K-Supermarket Lasihytti. BBE 30.6.2022. Clear dark amber beer with beautiful natural white stable head. Aroma has malts, caramel, some earthy notes and herbs. Flavor has same elements. Caramel and some herbs. Blaah, bit boring first touch for the brewery.

Mild smell of hops, spruce. Deep dark brown colour, extreme brown head. Aroma of caramel malt, oak, hops and spruce. Wild carbon, sweet with some bitterness. A rather nice surprise and a balanced flavour.

On tap at Gastropub Nordic, pours a hazy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out sweet chestnut, herbal notes and caramel malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with caramel, chestnuts and some sweet herbal notes. Strange beer - sort of kvass-like. Meh.

Tap at Gastropub Tuulensuu. A bit hazy chestnut color, midsized beige head. Aroma has caramel, light herbal notes. Medium-bodied. Caramel, not spruce or pine but herbs like clove and basilika, bready maltyness. Drinkable but this will not be the favourite of masses.

(Keg at Kievari Kahdet Kasvot, 20170211) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and almost white. Aroma had caramel and earth. Palate was medium bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, caramel, needless, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A messy and fizzy brew.

Draught @ Sori Taproom, Helsinki. Earthy, slightly roasty and sweetish with some berries and hints of spruce, spices and earthiness. Decent.
