(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 21.07.2026, at Cup & Pint, Turku, 20220222) The beer poured oily and black. There was no head. Aroma had burnt malts, sweetness, dark chocolate, cocoa powder and mildly ash. Palate was full bodied, warming and rather sticky with low carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, dark chocolate, sweetness, spiciness, ash, alcohols and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, boozy, spicy and bitter. A brew with excessive sweetness but somehow the beer was quite drinkable.
