Tap at Brewdog Helsinki. Lots of coffee/espresso and milk/cream. Some caramel, fruit and citrus also. Moderate sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Interesting brew.

Looks dark amber with a beautiful red shade. The only thing distracting is that I got quite a lot of yeast in my glass. The flavors are amazing. Sweet caramel, strong alcohol and best part comes in the end - sourish wine-like finish. Good creamy mouthfeel... this is good stuff.

Benzai (11072) - Oirschot, THE NETHERLANDS, NETHERLANDS - SEP 27, 2015
Draught @ Van Moll Brewpub. Clear dark amber color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, lightly caramel, leaves, quite some overripe fruit in there as well but not in a way I like, a bit earthy malt bitter. Too heavy leaning on the malts imo. Average body, firm carbonation.

Hermod (4794) - Vantaa, FINLAND - SEP 22, 2015
33cl bottle. Batch #073. 13.11.15. Pours mahogany color with a thick creamy off white head. Raisiny, plummy, bit boozy and sweet malty brew. Long sweet finish, hoppy but sweetness overrides it. Mild chocolate notes as well. Good drinkability for this abv.

Dark amber color with a small off-white head. Mild hops, mild sweetness and mild bitterness in the aroma. Mild hops, bitterness and some sweet maltiness in the flavor. Easy and a bit boring.
