Bottled (from K-Market Ahventie, Vaasa). Coppery brown colour with a mediumsized brown head. Aroma is chocolate, mild toast as well as some slight floral and herbal notes. As it gets warmer it gets some metallic tones in the aroma too. Flavour is chocolaty with some rye bread and mild fruitiness. Nicely balanced. The metallic tones show up in the flavour too as it warms up. Without the metallicness this would be a really nice brew.
