I am addicted to the darkness between worlds…
A 10% imperial stout. Jet black with aromas of dark fruits and smooth caramel. A soft, sweet, silky mouthfeel leads to hints of burnt biscuits, raisins notes & subtle coffee ending in a bitter dark chocolate finish.

(Keg at Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, 20250117) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, liquorice, sweetness and alcohols. Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, alcohols, ash, liquorice and bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt, boozy and bitter. A surprisingly boozy brew.

Thick tan head on a dark brown still body. Chocolate & coffee aroma. Full bodied, smooth & creamy with a tingle on the back. Malts, dark chocolate, raisin, demerara & coffee tastes with a bitter pine finish. Belter.
