(Draugt at Pikkulintu, Helsinki, on 2009-03-24) Dark reddish brown and clear. Medium sized white head that lasts some time. Lot of milk chocolate in aroma. Medium bodied and watery palate with medium carbonation. Milk chocolate, bitterness, malts, bit of sourness and some roastedness in taste. Milk chocolate in aftertaste.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep orange to amber with a small and off-white head. Cheesy and roasted malt aroma, somewhat strange. Nice roasted caramel malt flavoured, yet with that same herbal off note - somewhat cheesy too - this does go away after a while. Ends dry and lingering roasted malt flavoured.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Mild roasted caramel and hoppy aroma. Bitter, mild citrusy and vague butterish malt flavoured. Subdued caramel malty flavoured into a bitter and medium dry finish.

50 cL bottle. Pours black with a small orange rim and with a small tan head. Roasted and mild spiced aroma. Light bodied. Smooth roasted malt, subdued chocolate note and light breadish note. A bit faint in flavour impression, but flawless. Nice and easy.

Draught (Pikkulintu, helsinki) - Copper brown in colour. Malty and grainy aroma with a hint of fruit. The taste is malty and fruity with hints of dried fruit. Drinkable, but needs some work done to it.

Bottled (thanks to mom & dad for bringing from K Citymarket, Rauma). Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is cold coffee, roasted malts, some sour notes as well as mild peas and cooked vegetables. Flavour is roasted malts, some spices, wet tobacco ashes as well as some slight notes of caramel, ryebread and some mild cooked vegetables. In this case the cooked vegetables actually fits the beer quite well. VASP are doing a rather good job, being new in business, yet having quite good quality beers.

(Bottled, BB 04/2009). Courtesy of austone. Clear amber color, small white head. Roasted coffeish aroma with hints of chocolate and touch of toffee. Light body, quite carbonated. Cold coffee, rye bread and cocoa powder flavors. Light hops in otherwise watery and slightly metallic finish. Tobacco ash in the aftertaste, too much color malts? Commercial description says ’sweetish-malty’, but this is not sweet but dry and perhaps a bit sour. Not hopeless, but very hard to think when to drink this. Too light for being a winter warmer, too ashy for Christmas food or sauna beer.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Very dark brown, no head. Roasty and lightly caramelly. Light-medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Low bitterness. The hardness makes it lifeless.
