(Bottle, 0.33l, a sample, at Pikkulintu Puotila, 20251027) The beer poured dark brown and clear. No head. Aroma had toasted malts, raisins, vanilla and dark fruits. Palate was full bodied, warming and lightly sticky with hardly any carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, raisins, vanilla, dark fruits, prunes and bitterness. Aftertaste had toasted malts, sweetness, alcohols and bitterness. A well done brew with very high ABV. The drinkability was surprisingly good.
