Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (thanks JP). Pitch black with minor beige head. Aroma is ashes, coffee, caramel malts, roasted malts and some slight notes of toffee. Flavour is rather much the same, but has a clearly stronger chocolaty tone. Very pleasant.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, brewing mash, and over ripe fruits - a somewhat weird combination. The finish is dry and bitter, and the body is light.
