Nordic Winter Brew from Mallaskoski

4.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 4
Draught@Rotterdam, Helsinki
Dark brown color, quickly vanishing tan head. Slightly malty and metallic nose with berry-like notes. Metal, iron dominates the flavor. Light roasted notes over the weak malty base. Boring, watered down version of Mallaskosken Tumma. No birch sap found.

Draught@MiniBaari, Seinäjoki (which now is considered to be the "brewpub"). Dark rubyish brown colour with a small, but longlasting foamyish head. Aroma is slight roasted malts and coffee with some strange sweetish hints. Flavour is dark fruit, roasted malts, caramel with some acidic sweetness. Was said by the bartender to be a "warming dark beer for the winter". My comment after having tasted it "Quite dark lagerish, which still makes you freeze when going out". Addition: ", atleast unless you finish the keg by yourself".

6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5
Big coarse beige head. Dark red translucent body with ongoing carbonation. Peppery caramelly aroma with notes of milk and paper. Taste is powerful acidic smoky caramel with a bitter grassy aftertaste. Smoky taste lingers. Slightly sickly metallic-like off-taste, with notes of wild berries. Quite a bit of taste, but somehow it doesn’t appeal very much. Could be the acidity. (0.5l can.)

Can, 4.5%. (The red can). Gusher. Bad maizy/grainy aroma. Clear golden colour. Almost no head. Thin mouthfeel. Watery, yet bready flavour. Low to medium bitterness. Not good.

Der Geschmack erinnert an die anderen Biere der Brauerei. Wässrig, muffig, im Nachgeschmack stark röstmalzern. Noch einen Tock besser als die anderen Kuohu Biere, aber immernoch unterste Kategorie! Test vom 1.10.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,6,5,5,5,5

Danke an Doppelbock für die Abwicklung des Tauschs der finnischen Biere! Grasiges Leichtbier-Aroma, das definitiv nicht gefällt. Leicht karamellartig, das Bier erinnert mehr an Wasser mit Ahoi Brause als an Bier. Test vom 1.10.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 4,4,4,2,4,3 - 3,30

Danke an Doppelbock für die Abwicklung des Tauschs der finnischen Biere! Der Geschmack ähnelt dem Vaales, es ist allerdings wässriger und zum Ende hin deutlich metallern. Positiv ist allenfalls der malzige Ton. Dennoch: Schlecht! Test vom 1.10.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 5,5,5,5,5,5 - 5,00

Can - Bruxellensis Festival. Rich dark ruby colour, thin beige head. Some dark juicy fruit. More dark jammy fruits in mouth, blackcurrants. I like the fruit a lot.

Can - Bruxellensis Festival. Gold colour with thin white head. Sickly malt aroma. Good raspberry fruit in mouth. Wow, nice berries. Tasty, if a bit thin. A raspberry lager.
