Keg at BD Helsinki. It pours deep ruby with a decent beige head. The nose is rich, sweet, jammy berry, fruit cake, earth, raisin, eccles cake, warming alcohol, ginger snaps and black tea. The taste is smooth, oily, bitter-sweet, varnish, resinous, piney, dried fruits, fruit cake, toffee, umami, glacier cherry, alcohol boost, toasty brown sugar, gingersnaps and general warmth with a slick finish. Medium-full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth-feel. Rich and decadent, yet remains pretty drinkable. Good stuff.
