Top fermented beer which is subjected to a secondary fermentation in bottle. It is deep dark ebony in color with a cappuccino head. The nose has aromas of chocolate, licorice, coffee grounds and tobacco with alcohol nuances. Its full bodied, long lasting, smooth and dry mouth is followed by a surprisingly hot finish that breaks its initial fullness and makes you crave more!

Draught @ Tallinn Craft Beer Weekend 2015
Aroma has cocoa and sweet malty notes. Feels like Slottskällans IS. Flavour has cocoa, milk chili notes and some coffee. Leathery finish. Still good, I like the mild chili here.

Draft - Smokey bitterness, typical for this style. Dark with a brown thin head lingering around the edge. Rich malty taste, the chilli definately present with a refreshing sweetness allowing it to be a beer you can drink all night.

330ml bottle. Deep dark brown with macropore, quickly fading dark beige head. Dark malty, sweet, nuttily and minimally alcoholic aroma, a little bit flat overall though. Taste is sweet, with hints of liquorice, soy sauce, a dry hoppy note; slightly soapy finish.

Pizzeria Paradiso, Alexendria 10oz ($10): Pours a black color with a moderate brown head. Aroma has anise, roasted malt, and some definite Belgianesque quality to it. I liked sniffy it plenty. Fortunately, I had not problem sipping it either. This is kind of a mild Imperial Stout. It relies more on subtlety than it does on broad powerful gestures. The pepper is a nice touch without being overly spicy. There is a nice little mild sweetness. The mouthfeel is soft and velvety. I got this beer on a whim, and I cannot say that I did not thoroughly enjoy it. I kind of don’t understand where these low ratings are coming from.
