440ml can from K-Citymarket Sello, Espoo. Smooth, slightly sweetish and earthy porter with some roastiness, coffee and chocolate notes. Quite smooth and easy going.

(Can, 0.44 l - canned on 22.10.2018, from a supermarket, 20181102) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized, lightly brown and it lasted long. Aroma had burnt malts, coffee and ash. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, coffee, ash, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste had burntness, coffee and bitterness. A bit unbalanced burnt brew. The burnt flavours were too dominating.
