Dark ruby ale with subtle coffee and chocolate flavours and a rich, hoppy aroma. Roasted berry and caramel characters sink deep into a fantastic bitter finish.

Flaske 500ml fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø Sentrum. Mørkebrun med litt rødskjær. Høyt luftig skum som varer og etterlater litt lacing. God karamellaroma med spor av malt. Smaken er sjokolade som glir over i lakris. Blir veldig tørr & bitter etter hvert. Tynt sedimentlag igjen i flaska.

05.07.2014, 0,5l bottle (labelled only Dark Delight, 5,5%) @ home:
Small slightly bubbly mediumlasting head, looks very diluted for being a stout. Aroma is slightly roasted, mild coffee, roasted grain, hay, grass, caramel, paper, hints of chocolate. Taste is slightly dry and roasted, hay, paper, roasted grain, minerals, grass, burnt caramel, coffee. Medium bitterness, dry metallic and very watery mouthfeel. Meh!

Bardzo dobry stout, tresciwy goryczkowy wytrawny z mala ale mocno zbita piana. Nugatowo-orzechowo-kawowy posmak w oddali mnostwo gozkiej czekolady. Aromatyczne umiarkowanie, osadu sporo i niskie nagazowanie. tresciwosc i sytosc tego piwa jest bardzo bardzo na plus.
