Is there anyone here who's able to read/translate Finnish for me?
From 3/25/19:
From Tuesday night:
Collaboration Without Representation (2019)-Deep River Brewing Company
Something from Johnston Country that didn't go bad after being incarcerated in a pint-sized aluminum jail for another (almost) 3 months .
I thought all the flavors described above were a bit more "intense" after another quarter year of storage, especially the bourbon flavors.
I'll report back on this in another 3-6 months, perhaps after a September tailgate, mostly to keep my faith in the "beer in cans is ok for storage/cellaring" attitude.

Still looking but got this much:
Unfiltered all-malt ale brewed with Kouvolan lakritsi (licorice).
Licorice? I’m out 🤢

I found a description page in Finnish and used Google translate. Hope the link works.
Assuming flights go okay tomorrow, I expect to have reviews of Oahu brews forthcoming over the next 10 days. Any leads would, of course, be appreciated.

Now, how to work this into a casual conversation? 🙄😳🤣🍻
Been to two brewery’s today, Garden Grove and Veil. Garden Grove is also an “urban winery.” I had a blend of Barleywine, tawney port and mead, at 16% abv. I have to sober up and review tomorrow. Great start to Father’s Day weekend.

Never reviewed a beer from Finland before and likely never will again.
This was a gift from a patient a couple weeks ago who risked life, arrest and reputation bringing it back through US Customs after he and his wife visited Finland.
Poured aggressive from a 12 ounce bottle, after pulling the bottle cap tab to open without using a standard bottle opener, into a standard pint glass. Color was dark brown and clear with a foamy, tan head. Smelled like a milk chocolate latte with licorice. Same tastes appeared, along with some burnt dark caramel and mild earthy/herbal bitterness. I'm astonished I found this on the usual beer sites with Untapped quoting 30 for the IBUs and 5.4% ABV which matches the only thing I'm truly able to understand from the label . Overall, a pretty tasty porter, even with the hints of licorice.
I'm highly grateful this patient continues to surprise me with beers from his travels, even if this one did smell and taste like licorice .
