A nice velvety full bodied stout. All the classic flavours, but a bit stronger. Craft Baza Chisinau

DRAFT. Really dark brown, still the light comes through, dark mocha head. The aroma is sweet mix of cooking chocolate and sticky burnt sugars, with a nice winey astringency, alcohol that barely starts to warm the nose up. Similar flavour profile - relatively simple caramelized sugars, yummy in a way, some dried herb hops add a nice balancing touch. Medium to full, not sticky body. Lingering herbal bitterness, and sugars still. Not too sophisticated, sweetish, but full bodied and enjoyable enough.
BOTTLE 75CL. Clear dark ruby, nice mocha head. The aroma has the coffee, really sweet coffee, and quite a bit of toffee and butterscotch. The taste is surprisingly low on sweetness, just some balancing malts, coffee roast acidity, woody / herbal bitterness. Enough body yest easy to drink. A bit "different", not your usual candyish coffee milk stout, but still food.
