“Barleywine-Style Ale”
Very sweet, very strong too, with a strong malt flavour. Otherwise just another ale. Made of barley, wheat, rye and oats.
Ridgeway Brewing, Oxfordshire, England. 10.5% alcohol.

Do you mean that because we are getting close to Christmas, it's time to buy some of it?
What I meant is that there is nothing notable tastewise in this beer. It's sweet and strong, but it's an otherwise boring beer.

It is usually december when you start getting this in bars. And due to it's unexpected strength it is anything but boring :)

I found it at Alko last year. The problem with bars is that they don't let you take the bottles with you to take a proper picture of it.
And if alcohol is enough to make a drink non-boring, you should try to get your hands on a bottle of Stroh 80 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroh ). It may not be legal in Finland, though :)

Just a happy memoroy thing. I doubt I could have it with stroh80, which likes to deposit itself in my nose.

Hey Whoa!
Is already time you get this?
Just another beer is not the word. It might be just another beer when drunk at home, but.. The sweet memories of drinking this in a bar and possibly lacking memories of drinking this in a bar!
