Draught @ HBF ’14
Aroma is smoky with toffee and banana esthers. Nice - like a dunkelweizen with smoke added. Flavour has ash, tobacco, licorice and hints of toffee. Nice, one of the best from Pyynikki.

Draught @ Villi Wäinö
Aroma has bitter herbal tones, grapefruit, some peaches and microwawed burger. Flavour is spicy with herbs, some fruity notes and distant rubbery tones. Bitter finish with more herbs. Too spicy and messy.

Bottled (from K Citymarket Kivihaka, Vaasa). Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white fluffy head, that vanishes quite fast. Aroma is nicely fruity and floral with some nectary notes when cold. As it warms up even a slight bit from being fridge cold it gets some slight strange pukelike sourness to it, which messes up the otherwise very nice aroma. Flavour is quite similar. Quite ok as such, but the strange sourness sucked. Not sure if this was a spoilt bottle or what, but I’ll look a bit through the fingers in the scoring of this one... as I want it to be good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Gluteeniton Kauppaipa on 17 Nov 2015 at 15:14 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Bottled@AIH53 (from Lumo, Rauma). Goldeny amber colour, small white head. Aroma is kind of not much, just some fruity and floral notes with mild bready malts. As it gets warmer the aroma gets closer to the flavour. Flavour is nicely floral, tropical fruity, some bitter wood, mild fruity notes. Nice hoppy bite in the finish.

Bottled (From K Citymarket Kivihaka, Vaasa). Deep murky brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is mild berries, some toasted notes, mild smoked notes as well as some slight yeast. Flavour is metallic, toasted, some ashes and quite dry finish. Somewhat unclean, and the thin body doesn’t help the few strong elements (for instance ashes) to balance out at all. This could probably be good if it was 3 or so percent stronger. As for now, nah,

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 10/14, at Villi Wäinö, courtesy of VastActiv, 20140402) The beer poured orange and hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had fruitiness, grass and mildly malts. Palate was light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, hay, malts and bitterness. Afteraste was short and bitter. A rather clean but too thin brew.

Tap at Villi Wäinö, Helsinki. Colour is deep orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Massive juniper, fruits, hints of yeast and some malts. Some distant hints of Belgian ales, quite juicy and very interesting. When getting warmer strong aroma of cabbage occurs and flavour gets more yeasty and homebrewlike. Drinkable as cold.

Bottle 330ml
Dark brown color, small brownish head. Aroma has dark chocolate, toasted malts and spices. Light to medium-bodied. Front is a bit watery. Then roasted maltyness, coffee, licorice and spices (clove). Nice roast in the finish. Somewhat useless with only 4.2% (stronger would work better with this kind of brew) but as interesting enough to drink a bottle.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 06/2014
Aroma has cocoa, ash, some toffee and tobacco. Flavour has tobacco, some ash, slightly salty licorice and hints of vegetables. Also some well roasted malt. Finishes with gooseberry bush leaves and more ash. A bit watery palate. Quite ashy porter, gets bitter in a harsh way towards the end of the glass.
6+2+6+2+13=2.9

33 cl bottle @ VastActiv, BBE 04/2015
Better than the previous one, licorice, hops, some ash and a bit light.
