(Can, 0.33 l - canned on 02.07.2020 - BB 28.06.2025, from the brewery, 20201127) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and lightly brown. Aroma had burnt malts, dark chocolate, ash and sweetness. Palate was full bodied and sticky sweet with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, sweetness, ash, sweetness, dark chocolate, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was excessively sweet and moderately bitter. An unbalanced sweet brew with some pleasant burnt notes.

330ml can. Sugary, sweetish and slightly roasty with hints of burnt malts, bready toasty maltiness, mild toffee notes, syrup, chocolate and hints of vanilla. A bit unbalanced, quite bready malty and sweet, almost feels more like an imperial baltic porter than an imperial stout.
