Bottled 500ml (Alko web) Opaque colour, small beige head. Light toasted chocolaty aroma. Medium-bodied. Smooth, clean, toasted, a bit chocolaty and cofferih flavour. Not the most exiciting Stout but easy and balanced, maybe more mellow than it was few years ago. Not sure is it quite in Foreign Style category, more like just a Stout.

On tap at Olutravintola Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Close to black with a beige head. Roasty aroma with dark chocolate and dark fruits. Rather dry and pleasantly balanced. Easy to drink and quite enjoyable.

Tap @ Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, Helsinki. Poured near black in color with a thin but lasting off white head. Roasty and malty aroma, chocolate, nutty notes and bready malts. Roasty hoppy finish. Scaringly good drinkability.

Draught @ BrewDog Tampere Aroma has cocoa, chocolate and coffee. Also some english hops. Flavour has coffee, ash, mild salty licorice tones and tobacco. A tad too dry and salty for me.
