And locally brewed Impy Stout seems fitting for my final beer in Oulu this holiday. Dark and glossy. Foamy beige head is rather thin. Aroma has espresso and liqourice with a gravy element. Flavourwise it has mocha and espresso before liqourice kicks in. Berry edge. More obvious into the finish were hints of sweetness also appear. Thick. Creamy. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Yummer.
