Flaske fra hytta, delt med Egil under brygging av bryllupsøl, jan-12: silkemyk aroma av mild kaffe, kokos og litt vanilje. Smaken er like silkebløt, og de 8,8 vitaminenhetene merkes først i magen. En fantastisk stout, skjønner godt at MJ anså denne som et øl i verdensklasse. Ingen skarpe kanter noen steder, myk som en kjærtegnende ungpikehånd.

It pours a dark brown and yields a black body with a nice offf-white two inch head that slowly dies to a half inch and stays for most of the brew. Some really nice spider web lacing glazes the sides of the pint glass and leaving some nice rings. The smell is based around the cocoa, nuts, coffee and malts. The taste is basically the same adding a bit of nice roastiness and letting the alcohol come slightly in as it warms. The sweetness becomes a bit subdued. The palate is about a medium with nothing harsh on the tongue and comes across very smooth, slightly silky. Overall, I like it, and with the price, I would definitely come back to it.

From Sinha Stout label bought at LCBO Ottawa. Tasted 2 times: Feb 12 and Jan 13. Aroma: Discreet accents of mild chocolate and coffee with notes of nuts and vegetable juice??? Nose is not sticking out much. Visual: Dual-color beige and brown creamy head over pitch black color. Large and long lasting, this head leaves a beautiful lacing. Taste: Attack is smooth with chocolate and coffee accents and a roasted bitterness as finish. A slight acidity accompanied with notes of lemon is developing after. Mild chocolate is holding the course throughout. Finish is long and acid with slight notes of caramel and coffee. Body is light to medium and texture is somewhere between watery and oily. Alcohol has a very smooth feel for an 8.8%. Good beer, but the flavors are missing complexity and variety.
