On tap on Ølhus Oslo, Helsinki. Close to black with a beige head. Roasty and hoppy aroma with nice balance between the roasty and malty and the hoppy notes, some pine and moderate fruity. Medium sweet with a balanced bitterness and medium lenght aftertaste. Quite balanced BIPA, not the most intense or flavourful, but easy to drink and very enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of My Lucky #13 on 31 Oct 2015 at 21:44 - Score: 7

Draught @ OlutExpo 2015

Pours dark reddish orange with a smooth head. Aroma of vinous berries, sweet caramely malts, toffee, syrup and yeast. Taste is sweet, vinous and syrupy with loads of caramel, toffee and hints of berries. Finish is sweet, sticky and stuffy with loads of vinous notes. Too sweet for my taste.
