Keg at Roudaribaari IHME, Hki. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head just sticks to the rim. Aroma has dark chocolate and espresso with a liqourice edge. Flavourwise it starts off similarly bitter. More liqourice through. Slightly sweet berries, moreso into the finish. Thick. Oily. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Punchy dsrk stuff.

Opaque colour, tiny beige head. Aroma is mainly liquorice powder. Light to medium-bodied. Roasted flavour has saltyness and lots of liquorice. A bit watery for its ABV. Dominant liquorice is a bit too rough in this one.

Smell of salmiac. Black colour, tiny brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, salmiac, some sugary candy note. Sweet. Soft carbon. Too much salmiac dominance.
