(Bottle, 0.5 l , from Alko, 20170901) The beer poured black. Its head was large, lightly brown and it lasted long. Aroma had burt malts, coffee and vanilla. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, coffee, ash, cocoa, vanilla and bitterness. Aftertaste had burnt malts, coffee and bitterness. A brew that had too much extra ingredients hiding the actual beer and leaving only the burnt malts.

As Tuatara Bohemian Pilsner. Pours creamy yellow, nice white foam. Aroma is fresh, hoppy and grassy. Some biscuit sweetness. Lots of hops here, dry and hoppy lions. Not sure how well that corresponds with style guidelines but I like this.
