On tap at Põhjala, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is dry, with plenty of dark cocoa, toasted malt, and bready malt. Flavour is really dry, with lots of dry cocoa, some earthiness, and toasted malt. Really great structure, with deep malts and dry dark cocoa permeating the finish. Excellent.

330ml bottle from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasty, earthy, dark chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, chocolate, liqourice, light molasses, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.
