draught @ Nisha Craft Riga Aroma has very sweet sugary and buttery tones. Flavour has butter, sugary tones, some licorice and hints of coffee. Unusual.

Black with big foaming but well retained head. Aroma starts with piney hops, some dark malts too. Nice bitter taste. Elements of coffee and slightly smokey roasted malt. Very flavoursome.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5

Bottled. Close to black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, mild coffee with some slight tart wooden tones and mild ashes. Flavour is chocolate, coffee, some mild roasted malts with a slightly tart edge and quite a high floral bitterness. Otherwise nice, but I'm really not very amused of this kind of hopping in a stout.
