Kiva savuinen tuoksu. Maussa yllättäen voimakkaampi savu. Huvin tasapainoinen ja pehmeä. Yllättävän erinomainen!

Positiivinen yllätys. Maukas, pehmeän maltainen ja kivan savuinen maku. Ei nyt missään nimessä Schlenkerlan veroista, mutta oikein hyvä suoritus!

A leftover Xmas beer, bb April 20. Heavily discounted in a supermarket. My expectations are low, to be honest, but we'll see. Transparent mahogany beer with limited carbonation gives a latte-hued moussy head that barely reaches one finger. The foamy lid melts fast to a hair-thin ring on the surface. The nose picks brownie, dark chocolate and a wisp of smoke. Maybe faint caramel, as well. So far, not bad. The palate offers smoked malt, caramel, dark chocolate, brown sugar and a hint of black tea. Decent for sure, even pleasant. The level of attraction increases significantly for the little price I paid. The body is light. The finish doesn't change much from the actual taste but the smokiness becomes slightly bigger at this stage. Last Christmas, I gave you my heart but the very next day, you gave it away; this year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to the aftertaste special. The mouthfeel is light, wintry, roasty, moderately smoked and nicely balanced. A reasonable beer in its own right. I'm positively surprised. The label is soooo meh.

Hapan, savuinen. Liian voimakas. En niin tykkää

Hyvä karamellinen taustajumputus. Ei maistunut Vantaa eikä Lahti.
