Bottle. Clear black body under a nice, dense beige head. Aroma of dark malt, smoke and hint of smoked meat. Taste is dominated by dark malt and smoke like aroma, quite sweet, mild alcohol. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Bold and nice.

Black with a minimal light brown head. A good portion of smoked and coffee aroma with some sense of spices and fruit sense. Medium sweet, light bitter with a smoked and coffee finnish some dark fruits at the end.. NICE!

Waxed bottle @ Koht, Tallinn. Pours sticky black, little bit of beige foam on top that leaves good lacings. Sweet blackberry nose, oily, sweet berries, deep soft smoke and some leather, paired with bitter chocolate cocoa. Medium-bodied, oily smoky and bitter. Berry sweetness there coupled with some dry herbal bitterness. Lots of leather and smoke - but it's not peaty. Dry bitter finish, lingering smoke and roast bitterness. Alcohol well hidden, body lighter than expected. Pretty amazing stuff actually.
