- Heavy, sweet and earthy with loads of rye, vanilla, cocoa, licorice, hints of burnt notes and dry finish. A bit all over the place, slightly unbalanced

Keg @ Juova, Helsinki. Poured pitch black in color. Chocolate pudding, thick, roasty and flavourful with nice vanilla notes and some spicyness from the rye. Balanced and delightful.

(Keg at Juova, 20241115) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and light brown. Aroma had burnt malts, dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla and liquorice. Palate was full bodied and lightly warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste had burnt malts, chocolate and bitterness. A tasty burnt brew with sweet notes.
