0.33 l bottle shared with Ogi. Dark brown to black, small beige head. Aroma is molasses, milk and dark chocolate, cocoa, some roasty notes, good balance, alcohol hidden. Moderately rich, but quite complex. Smooth, very soft, moderately sweet. Creamy, not cloying. Flavour is milk chocolate, nougat and toffee. Light toasty and caramely note. Finishes sweet. A gentle festive beer. Strong, slightly warming.

On tap at Põhjala, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has gentle cocoa, toasted malt, and some crusty rye bread. Flavour is full of chocolate—somewhat syrupy—with light toasted malt. A bit too sweet for me, but nice chocolate character in its simplicity. Good.
