Golden naked oats mashed with dark crystal and robust roasted malts create a luscious black brew with a satin smooth finish. Layering UK Target hops in the boil adds a pleasant, earthy complexity while higher fermentation temperatures enhance the overall flavor with fruity esters. An old-world style, done the Green Flash way. Big, bold, flavorful and complex – Double Stout.

(Bottle, 0.355 l, at Olutravintola Solmu, 20120714) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and light brown. Aroma had chocolate, roasted malts, liquorice and hops. Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, nuts, ash, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste was roasty, ashy and bitter. Very tasty and surprisingly balanced heavy brew.

Old rating: 3.6 (Bottle at Hilpeä Hauki, Helsinki, on 2009-04-19) Balck. Small tan coloured head. Hops, liquorice and roastedness in aroma. Full bodied and slightly oily palate with quite high carbonation. Roastedness, lot of bitterness, grass, liquorice and ash in taste. Ashy and bitter aftertaste.

Pours an opaque very dark brown with an average-sized tan head. Roast malts, coffee and cocoa powder in the aroma. The complex flavors follow the aroma with a nice balance of sweet and hop bitterness. Creamy and smooth.

Pitch black color with a dark brown head. Dark chocolate, dark fruit and baked cake give this beer depth from beginning to end. Rich, but not sweet, nor cloying. Decent bitter finish. Moreish. Give me more.

Bottle. Pours thick with a deep black body and a dark brown head that fades to a ring that sticks with great lacing. A bit glass coating. Probably should be a foreign stout by its robustness. Aroma is chocolate cocoa powder, flowery with dry molasses, anise and vanilla. Taste is smoke and roasty with light notes of vanilla, licorice, and leather. Not too bitter, very few hops. Creamy mouthfeel and light bubbles.
