Почти идеальный стаут. Аромат сразу отличный, нежный, орехово-шоколадный, тонкая кофейная пенка. Вкус полон утонченных орехов, именно орехов, прям миндаль и фундук, затем нежный кокос с шоколадом. Я не понимаю как можно сделать стаут лучше.

Canned 4/20/26, drunk 5/29/26.
Certainly smells the part. Fruity, rich, zesty with green mango, ripe honeydew melon and some tempered but balancing acidity on the end. Good mix of cracker-honey-bread-like maltiness; nothing too rich/sweet. No alcohol noted.
Good bitterness up front with a lot of earthiness and some blandness. Doesn't really get too bright, juicy, or even that fruity; rather just woody, bitter and sharp at points with possible alcohol notes. Very dry, bitter finish. Nothing like Pseudo Sue or Alien Church. Not sure what is going on here. Bizarre that the (really lovely) aroma is so different from the flavor.

Aromas are kind of a retro blend of malt, citrus, resin and a hint of MJ. Flavors are similar to nose with excellent balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Just right body and finish follows flavors. Very good drinking beer.
