Аромат сладкий в целом, есть нотки от какого пироженого, немного карамели, нуги, орехов и шоколада, бисквит. Цвет темный, немного пенки. Вкус такой же сладкий и приятный в целом. Снова бисквит, немного черного шоколада и кофе. Послевкусие с какими то нотами фруктов, есть спелость. В целом просто неплохой стаут.

440 ml can, from Seven Cellars. ABV is 5.5%. Black colour, moderate tan head. Sweetish aroma of roasted hazelnuts, chocolate / cocoa, vanilla and roast malts. The flavour has a moderate sweetness (not as much as the aroma made me fear), a slight fruitiness, and otherwise the same elements as the aroma. Noticeable bittering hops in the finish. Good beer. Might well buy again.
