Draught in Ravintola Bruuveri, Helsinki- Dark brown, almost black with a tan head. Not much of an aroma (perhaps down to the serving temperature) but slightly malty. The taste is malty and bitter and slightly roasted.

A bit hazy nut brown color, small off-white head. Strong fruity-sweetish (strawberries) hoppy nose. Good malty IPA but quite fizzy (carbonated). Sweetish-fruity hoppyness with some pineneedles and resin in it. Quite close to some Stadin Panimo’s brews - no suprise as their ex-brewmaster brewed this batch.

Hazy dark nut brown color, small and mostly vanishing off-white head. Strong American style hops and yeast in the nose. Quite flat mouthfeel. Nice hoppy bite, which starts slightly sweetish and ryeish but evolves to long bitter finish. Good IPA, I would say that this has some influence from late Stadin Panimo ..

Draught at the brewpub
Black color; creamy head. Light aroma of caramel and roasted malt. The flavor is basically roasted malt, with caramel and some malt; the body is strong enough; maybe the bitterness deriving from the roasted malt is too much for me. Good.

Draught@brewpub. Dark brown colour, small brown head. Aroma is glue, malts and hops. Slight roastiness along with metallicness and malts in flavour. Also some caramel mixed in. Just plainly dissappointing and bad.

Draught@brewpub
Very dark brown color, small creamy brown head. Crisp, lemony and toasted malty nose with hints of vegetables. Quite watery, light body, hard metallic mouthfeel. Chocolaty roasted-malty flavors. This Bruuveri’s first beer was someway a dissapointment as this stout is "too easy to drink" and characterless.
