Bottle. Dark brown with reddish hue, but very clear. Thin beige head that disappears quickly. Very little aroma - maybe vanilla. Thin body with fairly lively carbonation. The flavour is not a stout, but not unpleasant. It is malty with some bitterness, but not a lot. There are some other interesting flavours, although they are not prominent. I get chocolatey tastes and caramael and what seems to me rather like black sesame in the finish. It’s not a stout, but for a Korean beer it has some interesting dimensions to it.

Medium-sized coarse-laced light beige head subsides quickly. Deep dark red body with ongoing carbonation. Faint caramel aroma with touches of sugar. Watery burnt taste initially, then light caramel and licorice. Faint chocolate. Faintly bitter and dry aftertaste. Ok, but way too little body. (0.33l bottle.)

Canned (can says 4,5%, Russian infosticker says 5%). Cocacolaish colour and thickness. Huge beige head. Aroma of skunked hops (piss) at first, but once it’s been a while in the glass the pissy hints are off. Flavour is mildly roasted malt, some caramel and acidicness too. Thin palate, and quite dry, papery mouthfeel.

Can says 4,5% alcohol, but label says 5.0%. Copper brown, good expresso head. Lemony, alcoholic and crisp, somehow hoppy aroma with hints of rubber, no roast found here. Light malty, some roast and some caramel in the beginning. Dry mouthfeel. Nothing really wrong here, just very light body and this is not a stout. More like dark lager or dunkel. Really underrated, propably people have rated this against proposed style.
