Draught @ Bryggeri Helsinki
Pours pitch black with a smooth brown head. Aroma of roasty malts, loads of licorice, dark chocolate, coffee and hints of leather . Taste is smooth, roasty and heavy with hints of sweet syrup, licorice, toffee, wood and dark chocolate. Finish is roasty, sweetish and heavy with hints of syrup, toffee and wood. A bit unbalanced.

330 ml bottle. Pours clear amber. Aroma has some overly ripened fruits, almost becoming a cider but stopping one step short. Sweet orange marmalade. Taste is full of mango, passion fruit and ripened banana. I like tropical fruits and here I get them in abundance. Fruit basket. Body is full, balancing the hop character quite nicely. Interesting beer, slow sipper as it is, I guess showcasing Nelson Sauvin at its best. Can understand why this beer is quite divisive though.

33cl bottle. Poured black with a thin brown head. Sweet, soy sauce, roasted aroma. Flavor has suryp sweetness, soy sauce, soaked plums. I am not a fan of this type of IS, way too sweet for me.

Draught @ Bryggeri Helsinki. Aroma as strong strawberry jam notes and quite nothing else. Flavour has somewhat tart strawberries, some grapefruit, grainy malt and hints of cereal. Finishes with lingering herbal bitterness. Too much strawberries here and palate is a bit too sticky.

Tap @ Baltic craft beer winter assembly "METENIS". Cloudy orange color with white foam. Excellent aroma a lot of grapefruits and other citrus fruits. The taste is very fresh and drinkable, real grapefruit juice, just more delicious, with grape and hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Great beer.
