Cask at Barley @ Bait, Helsinki.
The beer poured clear and golden in color, dense white head.
Nice citrus hoppy aromas, floral and flowery even. Grapefruity bitter flavors, turning into a decent bitter finish. Surprisingly hoppy. Very tasty.

50cl can from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark, black, with no foam. Aroma is clearly of coffee. Body is a little thin, with little carbonation. Taste is roasty bitter, but with some sweetness given by lactose. Final is average.

Gravity poured half-pint at a beer festival at the Pheasant Inn on 17th July 2026. Clear light golden pour no head worthy of the name. Semi-sweet fruity nose and taste not unpleasant but a little understated.

Stockport Beer Festival 2026 Beer#9. Not black, just very dark red, not that it matters as the rye part is the crux and is spot-on here in a palatably strong brew with a low-to-mid bitterness. Sweet dark-malty aroma and taste.
