Biggish white head quickly grows coarse. Slightly hazy deep golden body with strong carbonation. Mealy tropical fruit aroma with resiny floral straw notes. Dry-sweet gooseberry and straw taste with papery notes. Mid-bodied. Mealy mouthfeel. Dry gooseberry and peach aftertaste with spicy papery notes. Nice, but too papery. (0.5l bottle, Eat & Joy Kluuvi, Helsinki. Also rated in 2008, when it was not nice at all.)

Medium offwhite head does not last. Amber body. Fruity floral aroma with malty notes. Powerful dry-sweet taste of floral resin with dusty faintly roasty malt notes. Sharp, harsh mouthfeel. Bitter dandelion aftertaste. A bit on the sharp side, and a bit lacking in depth, but still good. (0.25l draft at Oluthuone Kaisla, Helsinki.)

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Cloudy pale orange, creamy head. Fruity nose with some dough. Medium sweet and light bodied. Pleasant dougy malt flavour with some light esters and grass. Carefully bitter lightly salty finish. Well balanced.

Pitch black, small tanned head. Cocoa, roasted malts in the nose. Full-bodied. Flavor is sweet. This is almost sweet stout - well it is called "dessert stout" ... Dark malts, warming alcohol in the finish. It is not a world class stout, but another solid brew from excellent Huvila brewery.

(Draught at St. Urho’s Pub on 2008-02-14) Almost black. Small head. Very sweet nose with some roasted malts. Rather sweet taste with some bitterness. The bitterness increases while the beer gets warmer. Bit too sweet for my taste.

Draught. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wood, some fruits and grass as well as some mild notes of yeast. Flavour is very much the same. Quite standard English pale ale.
