Dark brown to black colored, thick, small non lasting tan head. Aroma is of dark chocolate, some coffee and roasted malt, spicy anise, dried and dark fruity, bit alcohol. Taste is medium to very sweet malt, chocolate and dark cocoa, coffee, some anise, dark and some dried fruits, bit grapes, medium roasty bitterness, alcohol and some warming in finish. Full bodied, soft carbonation, creamy. Excellent! (bottle)

Lots of star anise, blood orange, and grape must notes, unique stout combo, tasty stuff. Can sip this all night. Last of my Pohjala stash and probably for a while, miss the others. Smells like dog food though, weird smokey sweet smell :)

Draft - Fudgy dark chocolate and roast. Jet black with a rich light brown head. Sweet dark chocolate, touch of burnt orange and a long finish. I don’t get the many individual ingredients, but on the who,e quite nice and rich.
