33cl bottle from K-Citymarket (Helsinki Ruoholahti). Pours close to black with a beige head. Roasty aroma with coffee, dark chocolate, wood and hints of licorice and dark, dried fruits. Medium sweet with high flavour intensity and surpisingly high bittterness as well. Smooth and flavourfull, but also fresh and wild at the same time. Delicious!
Had this back in 2013 on tap, still just as good here, lots of rich chocolate, dark dried fruit shred, charred brown sugar and burnt earthy malts. solid hoppy backing coming through , roast coffee, full bodied, lingering dark malty finish. Excellent.
Roasted and toasted malty with notes of chocolate and some sweet caramel, toffee, singed brown sugar, nice mouthfeel and body, dark malty close, great to revisit a classic.
