Smooth, slightly roasty and malty with some hints of chocolate, coffee, cocoa, some bitterness and fruitiness in the finish. Pretty balanced, slightly hoppy stout

Draught @ Kuja Aroma has oat, mild smokiness, tar and toasted malt. Also sweet rye notes. Flavour has minerals, some sweet rye, smoky notes and tar. Finishes with soy sauce and salty licorice. Somewhat foamy palate. Alcohol is present but does not disturb much. I liked the 100C SOS better, this lacks the drinkability it had. Good stuff anyway. Congrats Vesa!

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grapefruit, menthol, hop burn, mango and light bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and mildly bitter. A bit too fresh hoppy brew. Hop burn is unpleasant.
