Taste: Sharp red fruits burst across the tongue, with oaky tannins and silky smooth red grapes mixing it up. Sweet toasted caramel malts and spicy rye join the jam, with hints of espresso and slightly herbal liquer-like bitterness rounding it all out.
Appearance: Black with a dark brown head.
Nose: Sherry and madeira sweetness jumps out immediately, balanced by a soft touch of vanilla and toasted coconut. Baked redcurrants, blackcurrants, and blackberries follow, elegantly merging with hints of dark chocolate.
Malts: Pale malt, Munich malt, Special B, Cara 150, Cara 300, Carafa T-2 Special, Chocolate malt, Chocolate rye malt, Flaked oats, Demerara sugar, Blackcurrants
Hops: Columbus, Chinook, Northern Brewer

Pours black, small tanned head. Scent is roasty, chocolate, barrels are hidden. Taste os full, roasty, medium boozy, mild barrel profile. Full, creamy body with a sharp boozy touch that works really well. Awesome, yet not very specific (unlike most pohjala's) .

Black and oily with thin dark creamy head. Aroma has dark roasted malt and hints of coffee. Also some sweet dried fruits and wood. Tastes warming and slightly boozy. Vanilla sweetness of bourbon and wood. Added depth from the sherry with its sultana and prune intensity.
