33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 07/2014
Rather malty and sweet aroma with hayish house aroma of BH. Also some worty tones. Flavour has sweet malt, some toffee tones, more malt, hints of wort, chocolate and biscuits. Perhaps also a slight, harsh metallic savor and grassy hops with it. No signs of alcohol, just pure malty sweetness. Perhaps too sticky with all the malt though. A solid doppelbock.
7+4+7+3+14=3.5
Draught @ the brewpub
The unfiltered version. Better and cleaner, no worty notes and not that sweet. Also more grassy hoppiness in the finish. A bit sticky this is still. 7+4+7+3+15=3.6

330ml bottle from K-Citymarket Kamppi
Pours clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of wet cardboard, hints of bready maltiness and sweet caramel. Taste is raw malty, earthy and cardboardy with notes of bready maltiness and caramel. Finish is sweet, malty and sticky with some metallic notes. Not very good. Feels more like a dunkel than a brown ale

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BBE 07/2014, from Alko, 20140207) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had malts, chocolate, molasses and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were chocolate, molasses, malts, grass and bitterness. Aftertaste had chocolate and bitterness. A nice balanced doppelbock but the chocolate-like scents and flavours were a bit too strong. Old rating 7-4-7-3-14
(Re-rate, keg at Bryggeri Helsinki, unfiltered, 20140214) The haziness was quite mild. Not so much different from the bottled one. One key difference was that the molasses flavour was more forward and the chocolate was in the back. +1 for taste and overall

Bottled (from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Very deep rubyish copper colour, with a mediumsized foamy white head, that leaves good lace. Aroma is mild nutty notes, some toasted notes as well as mild fruitiness. Flavour is fruits, some slight toasted notes along with mild bitterness as well as some nuttiness. Quite pleasant flavour! As it warms up, it gets slightly sweeter, as alcohol also shows up.
