Almost black with a creamy, beige head that lingers. Aroma of fudge and something herbal, vaguely ginger possibly although I’d never pick it out as such without knowing beforehand. Taste is bittersweet, a nice mix of toffee sweetness and hoppy bitterness and a touch of ginger bite. Body is medium, carbonation mild, texture trends watery, which is the only real flaw here, but I generally prefer beers of this style with slightly more heft. Good.

Bottle. Nose is roast, coffee, ash, smoke. Taste is smokey, ash leading to a burst of ginger, coffee pot coffee, fruity notes in the light sour finish which retains the heat from the ginger. It's solid and the ginger is well balanced to my taste

Musta olut beigellä, kohtalaisella ja runsaasti pitsiä jättävällä vaahdolla. Tuoksussa paahteista maltaisuutta, suklaata ja kahvia. Myös maku paahteisen maltainen ja kahvinen sekä jälkipuoleltaan suolaisen salmiakkinen. Keskitäyteläinen suutuntuma. Jälkimaku säilyy suussa kohtalaisen pitkään. Ihan hyvä tuotos, mutta hieman enemmän tässä saisi olla syvyyttä.
