Bottled (Citymarket Sello, BB 06/2009). Clear amber color, small beige head, mostly vanishing. Aroma is caramel malts-fudge, metal and some grassy-grainyness. Flavor has also caramel malts and metal, but also some bready bitterness. Otherwise quite typical Finnish XMas beer, but has some odd American vibe in it.

Draught@brewpub. Pitch brown/black, steady creamy espresso head. Sweetish and coffeish-toasted aroma. Burned malty, roasted flavor. Creamy texture, a bit sticky too. Long roasted aftertaste. A bit too much burned malts, but otherwise quite drinkable.

Draught@HBF2006. Extremely pale yellow colour, close to water transparency. No head. Aroma is pretty much to the border of riped pears, with some slight sugary notes. Flavour is very much sugary and even quite artificial pear-like flavouring.
