Can shared at home. Pours jet black with brownish head. Nose is coffee and dark chocolate, a touch of smoke. Taste is pretty much the same, big on dark chocolate and dark malts, there's some smoke in there as well. Coses with coffeeish, roasty finish, has medium to full, dry body, feels thicker than the 7.5% ABVs. Tasty.

Аромат как и положено быть у такого вида стаута. Немного суховат в меру, сразу сладкие сливочные нотки знакомые, немного шоколада и зерен каких то, немного темного шоколада. Цвет темный, пенка неплохая но быстро опадает. Вкус немного более терпкий и крепкотелый чем хотелось бы. Много темного шоколада который доминирует над сливочностью. Послевкусие с кислинкой и шоколадной сухостью. В целом норм, но хотелось бы немного более питкий вариант.

Draught@Pikkulintu, Ruttopuisto. Black colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet and roasted malts with some coffee, mild chocolaty and dried fruits. Flavour is roasted malts, some liquorice, chocolaty and coffeeish tones with a gentle dried fruity touch as well as some floral hoppiness. High drinkability, and though a bit high on the hops for a stout, hops are still not taking over, but instead being quite a gentle addition of flavours to the profile.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up via Trembling Madness online. Pours deep brown with a frothy, beige head. Good, sturdy stout, with nice ashy roast, bitter dark chocolate, salty burnt wood, earth, a little charred bacon perhaps. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and oily texture. Finishes with more ashy roast, a little burnt rubber, baking cocoa, nips of warmth. Really solid.

Can. Black with an inch of brown head. Aroma of roast behind mocha, some earth and pears. Oily, low carbonation. Lovely chocolate with roast, coffee and light spices. At first I thought I wanted more bitterness but the slight lean to dry at the end and the realisation that the chocolate isn’t that sweet makes it sit better and better.
