Slightly hazy amber color, small white head. Sugary, grainy aroma. Medium-bodied, watery palate. Sweet malty, almost sugary flavor (some brown sugar too). Low bitterness. Light alcohol in the finish. Dessert beer?

Bottle. Pours clear light amber with a small white head that dissipates with lacing. Aroma of yeast, honey. Medium sweet honey, yeast, and a touch of coriander. Not bad, but a little sweet.

Bottled@One Pint Pub, Helsinki (shared with Mankke & co, thanks!). Deep golden colour with small white head. Aroma is bready malts, some grains, mild herbs and quite floral and grassy hops. Flavour is floral and grassy hops with some mild bready and bisquity notes. Also some slight grainyness noteable. Clean, but a bit boring.

Bottled@One Pint Pub, Helsinki (shared with Mankke & co, thanks!). Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is quite big on the maltyness (mild toasted, quite caramelly and bready such), with some slight yeast and also mild spicyness lurking. Flavour is similar with some earthy and herbal notes as well. Balanced and not overly spiced.

(Bottle, 0.75 l, at One Pint Pub, 20111111) A gusher. The beer poured with muddy water colour. Its head was large and white. Aroma had malts, dates and spices. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, dates, dried plum, fig, caramell and low bitterness. Aftertaste had dates, sweetness and low bitterness. A good Christmas beer with flavours resembling a Finnish Christmas pudding.
