Near black with reddish glimts. Aroma was sweet with roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes. The sweet flavour had plenty of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and hints of butter. The butter actually worked fine in this one. Finished sweet and mildly bitter.

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.
