Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is nutty, some alcohol, chocolaty and mild biscuit tones. Flavour is very similar, but also has some caramel tones. Good, fudge wasn't mentioned, that would have been false marketing.

Старая школа. Стаут прям классический, что считали пастри до пастри, сладость и нереально сильная бочка. Словно выжимка дерева, нету почти ничего больше. Если допить бутылку то будет ощущение что выпил три стакана водки.
