Draught. Thanks to rsmeds for giving me a clue on this beer before my short 1 day trip to Rauma (a bit north of Turku) during Xmas day. So, rsmeds did warn me on wonderful aroma but quite crappy and empty flavour. I do have to agree on that one. Indeed it pours up enormously cloudy, and a weird brownish colourm the head was a very huge one for me though, slightly off-white (they even had to let the glass stand a while due to the foamy head). Aroma is yeasty, bananish, wheaty and also has some other berries and spices in it. Kind of Christmas meeting dunkelweizen. The flavour is wheat, yeast and dark fruit with weak banana. It somehow feels empty and watery. The typical "kouluish" nyance is also to be found in this one, though more hidden than in some others. Apparently this is a new "winterseasonal", which they decided to test out now, as their Christmas seasonal got sold out before their Portteri was ready. There may be another batch of this along with or after portteri again.
