Draught. Semihazy yellow colour, big white foamy head. Amarillo hops along with acidic lemon in aroma. Flavour is acidic fruits, kind of cabbageish. Strange brew, which I hoped had had even more of the amarillo in the flavour...Nice try though.

Draught at GBBF 2006. Attractive deep mahogany colour with no head. Bit of TCP aroma, bit of smoke. OK in mouth, bit too medicinal. Finish has some graininess. Not a massive fan. Smokiness is nice but the TCP aroma and flavour puts me off.

Draught at GBBF 2006. Thanks to maeib for getting the 2 Finnish beers. Black and thick with a dark tan head. Beautiful rich dark choc aroma. Bit of herb. Quite sour in mouth. Rich, heavy, thick. Bit of oily richness. Quite stunning. Rich thick choc and espresso coffee like in mouth. Full on Impy stout. I think everyone was too polite to finish it.

[Draught at GBBF] Clear nut brown. Junipery smoke aroma. Dry and soft. Dominated by wood, smoke and licorice with some light grassy hops. Odd, attention craving yet balanced. The smokiness seems surprisingly junipery for a beechwood smoked beer.

[Draught at GBBF] Pitch black, no head. Salty licorice and tar simmers on a soft but firm compact maltiness. Packed with flavour, but not assaulting. Vicely bitter, salty finish. The softness and blance makes it one of the best imperial stouts anywhere.

Draught@Plevna
Clear golden color, no head. Strong aroma of Finnish "sima" (mead): raisins, brown sugar and molasses. Very carbonated mouthfeel. Leaves acidy lemon flavor to mouth, but same time also has sugary sweetness, raisins and lemon "stones". Refreshing but not totally balanced. Kind of low alcohol feeling here.

Dark copper brown, small brownish head. Goof smoked ham aroma like in good Scherlenka. Lighter than its German companions. Good smoked (Bamberg smoked malts used here) - malty flavor. Excellent easy to drink rauchbier.

Draught. Ruby red colour, white foamy head. Aroma is mostly roasted malts, bitter hops and some hints of smoke and berries. Sweet flavour, of roast and malts. Seome smokeish notes also. Quite wellbalanced, but I waited for something like Schlenkerla though, so I was a bit disappointed. Dunkel meets smoked.

Draught. Black colour, brown big head. Roasted malts, toffee, hops and some hayish notes in aroma. Roasted malt, hayish hops and alcohol in flavour. Feels a bit unbalanced as for the sweetness which is there all the way through. Kind of cuts in in a bad way with the hops.

Draught @Pikkulintu
Opaque black, good steady and creamy expresso head. Chocolaty malty with pleasant sweetish fruity hoppy aroma. Full-bodied. Sweetish licorice flavor and very smooth palate - like in Plevnan Stout. Flavor continues with powerful hoppy bitterness. Long bitter aftertaste. Combination of sweetish imperial stout and bitter IIPA. Although bitterness dominates after few gulps.
