35,5cl can from Alko, Espoo. Pours black with a brown head. Roasty aroma with dark chocolate, dark berries and notes of coffee and hints of alcohol. Rather smooth, roasty and desserty with a certain balance. Tasty and enjoyable.

Ilmselt sama isend, mis stone imperial russian stout, aga no uus tick on uus tick... Meeldiv vana kooli isend, röstine ja šokolaadine ja mõru, lagrits ja asjad ka. Hea.

Can from the Packie
Inky black with a decent sized frothy tan head that persists. Earthy roasty chocolate licorice and caramel with bits of dark dried fruit to counter. I'm not sure why this is listed as a vintage, but its tasty and takes me back.

12oz can. Poured a pitch black color with a small tan head. Aroma was dark chocolate, with some roasted coffee. Taste was bitter dark chocolate, coffee, malt, and has a nice smooth texture. Tasty stuff, not sure if this is a rebrew of the old RIS or if it's a totally different beer.
