Appearance- nice, simple, basic can. Dark brown to black in color, few carbonation bubbles.
From - pint
Taste - malty, caramel, bitter tones, some spice and some sweetness. Basically a spicy stout, but oveall good stuff. Chile personally gives me a lesser score than without... but oh well. Overall interesting.

Mørk brun, brunt skum. Aroma gjev litt tonkabønne assosiasjon, sikkert kanel. Smaken er søtleg, kompleks, sjokolade og kaffi, veldig fin chili avslutning. Med ch og tb på røør

Can shared by bar staff in Sibeeria Taproom. Full body, med carbo. Med warmth, soft, pleasant, combines well with light chilli heat. Med-high bitterness and med-high sweetness. Lots of chocolate, medium vanilla-ish something, even though vanilla should not be present. Med-light cinnamon and chilli. Chilli itself nicely done, not paprikaish. Pretty intense all around, quite nice too.

Can, shared by Sibeeria Taproom's Ondra, huge thanks! Black body, tiny off-white head, gone soon. Cinnamon hidden behind ginormous but not overbearing vanilla, but very pleasant, chocolate, alcohol showing up in strength, all of that in the aroma. Smooth, soft taste, well hidden alcohol, caramel on vanilla, Kinder Maxi King, alcohol warms in the end, not before, no, wait, this has chilli, this is chilli burn. This is impressive, a well balanced, not overbearing adjunct stout. Great job!
