An Easter beer brewed in Belgium after a Finnish recipe, the label says.
The liquid is clear; the colour is deep brown with an orange tint. The two finger thick foam sinks slowly down to a beige layer with massive lacing.
The smell is very Belgian: Lactose-sourness, sweet malt with a roasted hint, some anonymous bitterness and fruity notes of apricot jam, raisins and sweet apples. Fine, but quite standard for the style.
The taste got stronger fruity notes than anticipated; lychee fruits, cloudberries, sour apples and a hint of wild strawberries. The body is milder than the normal Belgian dark ale, the malts gives a reserved impression with lightly roasted notes and some sournessand earthy notes. The aftertaste got much more sweet malt mixed with a matured taste of dark rum and strong wine and a somewhat perfumed finish (or should I say Finnish?). .
Carbonation is strong with small tickling bubbles. Just as it is supposed to be.
An just-below-average Belgian dark ale. I wonder where the Finnish recipe comes in? And what makes it an Easter beer, except from the purple witches on the label?
