Draught. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, dark dry fruits and some fruityness. Flavour is dark dry fruits, some mildly roasted malts and smoked wood. Complex and quite nice. Not going to the extremes by any means.

courtesy of Cigarcitybrew. Another nice beer to come outr of the frozen steps of Suomi land. Pours a nice brownish clear with tan head. Aroma and taste are malty / hoppy with touch of fruits. A little on the weak side with a bitter hoppy finish.

Porter rating number 100. Pours dark brown with tan head. The aroma has muted notes of dusty dark fruitiness and brown sugar mixed with light spices. The taste has a thin frail feel bringing in some dark fruitiness followed by tarter fruit notes moving toward some acidity. Beyond the fruit notes is a background of earthiness.

Draught (Teerenpeli, Helsinki) - Brown with red tinges and a foamy head. Dry and malty aroma with a slightly fruity hint. Moderately bitter taste with some fruity hint and some roasted malt with a roasted and lightly hoppy finish. Not a traditional brown ale in my opinion but a good interpretation. It has the potential to be better though.

Smallish offwhite head does not last. Orange body with small particles. Fruity spicy cloves aroma with cardamom and faint citric notes. Very harmonic. Dry-sweet citric fruity taste with yeasty notes. Kind of thin-bodied, and taste is a bit short. Warm, sharpish mouthfeel. Vaguely acidic citric fruity aftertaste. Nice. (0.75l bottle, Alko Arkadia, Helsinki.)

Medium darkish beige head doesn’t last. Deep red barely translucent hazy body. Sugary fruity malty aroma with plum notes. Sweet fruity plum taste with some roasty vinegary acidity which ruins it for me. Thin-bodied. Dry dried fruit aftertaste with roasty licorice notes. Probably infected. Drainpour. (0.75l bottle, Arkadia Alko, Helsinki.)
