A black beer with a medium and a constant, beige head. The nose is strongly roasted, salt liquirice and some smoke, also some citrusfruity tartness. Surprisingly, a powerfully aroma. Taste is roasted, coffee, citrusfruits, the end is dry and strongly roasted, almost burned. Medium bodied, nice and smooth carbonation. Almost burned, but still enjoyable, sruprisingly powerfull beer.

Bottled@PBF VIII. hazy yellowish golden colour, medium heads. Aroma is wheat citrus and wood compared to yeasty and very much rubber. Flavour is a quite much similar difference, the more recent one was much more fresh, the older very much rubbery with similar notes. The brewery recently threatened the Finnish rating scene on how things should be done and dislikers will be taken behind the sauna. Well, after these two released as bottles, bring it on! Points given in between the versions. But class, and constant quality, I will say, fuck you. Two bottles, totally different, that’s almost worse than homebrewers.
