Handpull cask at the Royal Oak, Halifax. Dark brown and translucent with a fairly tight khaki head. Light aroma of roast malt, some coffee. Sweet taste with creamy chocolate, coffee and and an almost umami-like Marmite twist. Body is light with soft carbonation. It's not bad, and has an intriguing complexity to it.

(Cask at Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto 20260122) The beer poured black. Its head was small and almost white. Aroma had earth, burnt malts, coffee with milk and ash. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, coffee with milk, sweetness, ash, earth and bitterness. Aftertaste had burnt malts, ash and bitterness. A good burnt brew with sweet notes.

440ml can. Pours black, tan head. Light roasty glimpses on the nose. Flavour profile brings to mind a sessionable old school roasty stout.. nice and light..

Near black with a creamy tan head and roasted malt and a touch of caramel on the nose. Smooth and creamy with roasted malt, a touch of sweetness and some treacle, finishes dry and slightly bitter.

A really lovely low-key stout. Super smooth, balanced dark malts, restrained ashy roast, earth. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Just astoundingly drinkable.
