330ml bottle from Prisma Kannelmäki, Helsinki
Pours dark brown with a smooth white head. Aroma of roasted malts, hints of nutty notes, tartness and ripe fruity notes. Taste is stingy, slightly roasty and nutty with hints of tart ripe fruitness and hops. Finish is smooth, hoppy and slightly metallic with hints of grassy notes. A bit strange, but not bad.

Bottle. Aroma mild, hard to discern anything. Hazy brown colour. Taste is strange herbal, with no carbonation whatsoever. Mostly sweet, spicy. Tasty Bonus points for originality. Minus points for lacking aroma.

Bottle 330ml (Prisma. Itäkeskus, Pori)
Deep ruby color, small mostly vanishing beige head. Strong spicey cardamon and clove aroma. Light bodied. Caramalty with notes of chocolate, cardamon and clove spicey flavor. Quite soft and clean palate. Of course a bit too watery leading to short spicey and dry aftertaste. This should work together with Christmas food (I would use this with salty food, not with dessert as commercial description says).

An almost black beer with medium and blond head. The nose is full of spices, still quite fashinating, cinnamon, ginger, also other X-mas spices, sweet berries, some anise and liquirice. Taste is not so exaggeration spicy than aroma and not so fashinating, (X-mas) -spices, ginger, cardamom, some roastiness. The end is dry, spicy and tense. Light+ bodied, low carbonation. This amount of spices would need more strenhgt of the body. A contradictory beer, the spicyness is quite OK, but still something is missing.

Hazy dark amber color, small white head. Fruity, sweet aroma of raisins and prunes. Medium to full-bodied, sticky palate. Flavor has raisins and prunes, "trappist yeast" flavor. Finishing a bit empty for this strong beer. Could improve over the time a bit, but not a failure by any means.

Hazy orange color, good creamy off-white head. Green grass aroma, some citrus and then sticky glue. Light to medium-bodied. Green grass flavor, light citrus hoppyness then glueis, sticky flavor. Spicey finish. Without that glueish off-flavor and aroma would be quite ok, although not evidently very fresh Citra. Maybe a bit out of date cask?
