(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.

0,33l bottle from the brewery. BBE 03.02.2022. Very dark brown, cola looking beer with small and quickly totally vanishing head. Aroma has coffee, milk chocolate, tobacco, nuts, sugar and sweet roasted malts. Nice. Flavor is quite sweet with dry coffee, milk chocolate and sugary malts. Even bit watery sweet feeling at the end, which is weird.
