Sinebrychoff
(Only Kerava nowadays. Pori Brewery used to be the oldest Nordic brewery before Carlsberg & Sinebrychoff closed it down in autumn 2009. Bastards.)

• Indian Corn Beer III (4.4%)
Legless Scotsman's rating: 2/5 points

• Jouluolut (6.0%)
Legless Scotsman's rating: 4/5 points (Colour: black / Tasty. Suitable with food)

• Karhu III (4.2%)
Legless Scotsman's rating: 4/5 points (Colour: dark gold. The one that was brewed in Pori was a perfect lager - one of the best in Finland. Once. But not anymore. The original Karhu beer has gone to hibernation.)

• Karhu Korpisavu (6.0%)
Legless Scotsman's rating: 33/50
(aroma 6/10, appearance 3/5, flavour and finish 8/10, palate 3/5, overall score 13/20)
(Colour and head: dark amber, copper, fast vanishing head / tarry scent. Not so smoky after all)

• KOFF Lite III
Legless Scotsman's rating: 0/5 points (Very watery lager, tasteless)

• Nikolai Vuosiolut 2011 (4.5%)

(aroma 8/10, appearance 4/5, flavour and finish 8/10, palate 3/5, overall score 15/20)
(Colour and head: black, thick creamy head / Smooth, malty, mämmi and rye. Nice and warm porter)

• Light Beer III (4.1%)
Legless Scotsman's rating: 17/50
(aroma 3/10, appearance 2/5, flavour and finish 3/10, palate 2/5, overall score 7/20)

• Musta Hevonen Vaalea (4.0%)
Legless Scotsman's rating: 25/50
(aroma 4/10, appearance 3/5, flavour and finish 6/10, palate 2/5, overall score 10/20)

(aroma 7/10, appearance 2/5, flavour and finish 8/10, palate 3/5, overall score 13/20)
(Colour and head: cloudy amber, thin white head / Citric, yeasty and fruity beer. A nice surprise from a dull brewery.)

• Suklainen Tumma Lager (4.7%)
Legless Scotsman's rating: 19/50
(aroma 3/10, appearance 3/5, flavour and finish 3/10, palate 2/5, overall score 8/20)
(Colour and head: cola. Head vanished really quickly / Fizzy, fortunately not very strong chocolate flavour. Very mediocre.)
