(Bottle at Pikkulintu) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma was grassy and herbal. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, herbalness, midly fruitiness, grain and bitterness. Aftertaste was herbal and bitter. I like it when you can taste the ingredients in a pils and this beer was like that.

Bottle. Poured brown color with a thin white head. Aroma was some roasted malt and some spicyness, can´t say what it was. Flavor is malty, with some liquirice and some metal. Very harsh finish. Thin and bit watery. Nah.

Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with mediumsized foamy brown head. Aroma is shitloads of liquorice, mild caramel malts, some burnt sugar, and some toasted and spicy notes. Flavour is liquorice, a bit toasted, slight notes of burnt sugar, mild alcohol and spices. A rather pleasant Xmas seasonal.

Dark brown beer with quite weak and beige head. Aroma is roasted, some vegetables, hint of syrup and honey. Flavour is similar than aroma, roastiness, some sweetness and ryebread, spicies; quite simple taste and not too roasted. Smooth and pleasant to drink, however, quite light. Quite balanced, but uninspirating, vegetables should be hidden better.

Bottled (Alko, BB 05/2011)
Seems that this is totally different recipe than a previous Talvi IV. Dark clear amber-copper color, small off-white head. Aroma of anice and barley grains. Quite light bodied for this ABV. Flavor has also barley grains, anice, licorice and caraway. Also some dark malts with light roasty notes. Some hoppyness with oily mouthfeel in the finish. This winter beer is quite Christmasy and has some Het Anker fingerprints :) But his is a lager, these flavors work much better in more fruity ale.

Can. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as a bit of brewing cereal. The flavor is very sweet with notes of malt, leading to a lightly bitter finish.
