Draught at One Pint Pub, Helsinki. Hazy reddish amber, minimal head. Heavily smokey with tar, licorice and juniper. Dry with clean mouthfeel and fairly light body. Lightly metallic with notes of blood. Short salty finish. Interesting powerful smoke flavour, but with an unfortunate metallic edge.

Draught at Black Door, Helsinki. Clear nut brown, small head. Lactic nose. Sweet and densely malty with full body. Massively malty with complex flavours of breadm syrup, port wine and red cherries complimented with woody lactic acidity. Viscous and heacy in the mouth. A delicious liqueur-like uniques beer. The closing of Stadin Panimo is a tragedy of epic proportions. I still maintain them as one of my all time favourite breweries.

Draught at Black Door, Helsinki (as Stadin Sahti). Cloudy brownish amber, minimal head. Appley nose. Medium sweet and completely without carbonation. Soft and drinkable with surprisingly clean flavours. Low amounts of esters and notes of rye bread and melon. Drying lightly grassy finish. An ale-like sahti.

Draught at Kaisla, Helsinki. Really black, small pale brown head. Lemony licorice aroma. Sweet and medium-full bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Light flavuored for an imperial stout. There’s grains, tobacco and aniseed but above all a lemon-licorice-menthe flavour. Spritzy finish with fairly low bitterness. A bit disappointing. It’s actually the 2nd time that I have lemony stouts from reputed brewers at Kaisla.

Draught at Oluthuone Kaisla, Helsinki
Black color. The body is quite thin for an Imperial Stout, aroma (quite light) and flavor are based on the dark caramel and roasted malt; there is no sweetness, no malt flavor, no strength; there is a light yeast aroma and a light sourness that reminds me some infection. The hops used are quite good (hidden). Even with a low alcohol content, the mouthfeel is warming. Not my kind.

Ruby red color, not much head. Dark fruits, portwine, glue and berries in the nose. Sweetish, wineous and alcoholic ... Sticky and sugary mouthfeel. Complex and balanced, but a bit too sweet and young. This one could develop to masterpiece, please bottle it!

This one was only labelled as "Stadin Sahti", so I rate it here - sahti typically has a bit different recipe from batch to batch. Muddy brown color, no head. Sweet banana nose with hints of juniper. Flat and sticky mouthfeel. Quite sweet - lots of banana, some licorice and juniper. Also something that I can’t trace, maybe hops? Interesting sweet sahti.

Draught at Black Door, Helsinki, 2007-08-21, 6-4-7-3-13=33
It’s one of the last kegs around, after the brewery has closed, and the impact of time on this Ale is not very positive; the aroma became lightly sour; the body is still well structured, sweet, but most of the bitterness is gone, you can feel it only at the end, and so the hop qualities; in the final there is also a very light metallic trace. It’s no more outstanding.
Draught at Oluthuone Kaisla, Helsinki, Stadin Amarillo A.P.A., 2007-04-24, 7-4-7-5-15=38
Hazy amber color. The Amarillo hop creates a nice fruity aroma, delicate. Good taste, malty, medium body strength, high bitterness, fruity and aromatic. Maybe the bitterness is too much in the very end. But it’s very good.

Draught at Oluthuone Kaisla, Stadin Panimon Best Bitter
Hazy amber color. Quite good malt flavor, but also too much yeast, and the bitterness at the end is too strong; the aroma is quite simple; the hopping is quite aromatic, but also maybe a small sign of infection.

Draught. Hazy dark amber colour, small brown head. Aroma is tar, smoke, malts and some earth. Flavour is smoked fish, ashes and some malts. A Very pleasant really smoked beer. This was still smoother than the Schlenkerla’s...
