33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 11/2015
Aroma has somewhat offensive herbal notes and juniper. Also mild apricot in the background. Flavour has mildish apricot, mild juniper and mild herbal notes. Watery and mild in all ways. Not offensive but nothing to give either.

Bottled 330ml (from K-Citymarket Puuvilla)
Deep orange color, quickly vanishing head - looks like Jaffa! Banana-yeasty nose with citric hints. Light-bodied, almost watery. Light banana, fruits, yeast. Very light palate with a bit homebrewish feeling. Very little substance here.

33cl bottle, BBE 08/15. Pours pretty much black in color with a thin light brown head. Aroma has milky notes, roastedness, coffee notes and dark bread. Flavor has coffee notes, roastedness, dark bread. Hops more noticeable in the finish, making it quite dry. Pleasant stout, flavourful, but body is so thin.
