Malty aroma with some hops, nuts and a slight feeling of contamination (Koulu house aroma). Flavour is malty with toffee, caramel, some nuts and very slight sourness with earthy notes. Finishes with moderate hops. Good, the sourness does not disturb and actually somehow even suits this beer.

Aroma is sweet with somewhat artifical chocolate essences, milk chocolate, some lactic acid and berries. Flavour has chocolate essences, milk chocolate, some coffee, fruity notes and berries. Sweetish, fruity finish. The typical contaminated feeling for Koulu beers is present also in this one – but it makes actually a nice twist.
Looking at those older ratings I get a feeling that the recipe of this might have been completely different then. At least the appearance does not match. The ABV matches, however.

Aroma is completely nothing, perhaps hints of hay. Sourish berries, gooseberry bush and honey occurs during drinking. Flavour has malt, fruity notes, honey, sweet malts, hints of apricot, grain and hay. Also some grassy hops in the background. Sticky finish. The least contaminated beer Koulu had to offer today – but I can still feel those aromas here too. Heller bock is not my favourite style but this was ok.

Aroma is sourish with roastiness, hay and hints of berries. Flavour has chocolate, roasted notes, cocoa, berries, lactic acid, hay and a slight contaminated feeling typical to Koulu beers. Nutty finish. A dunkel with sour twist.
