Can from Kwoff, Bury, Gtr Manchester,, consumed at home, sat out in the garden, Thursday 6th April 2017 Pours hazy amber with a huge fluffy white head. A pretty robust bitterness, but there is a soft edge. A little bit of perfume, pine resinyness and floralness amongst the pithiness, it’s juicy and fruity and quite hard on the bitterness but it is very good. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Pitch black beer, off-white head. The smell of rich, dry coffee is evident the moment you pop the can. Tastes of dry, earthy malt, coffee, a hint of chocolate and then it finishes off with some airy, bitter hop. A nice blend and a very nice beer.

Can sample at the "Farewell to Vova Shack" tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Max. Black with a huge beige head. Aroma of roast, dark chocolate, coffee. Rather dry flavor, slightly sweetish, with roast, chocolate, some coffee, and a bitter finish, slightly ashy. Medium-bodied. Good.

Can at home in London - picked up at Royal Mile Whiskies, Bloomsbury. Pours deep brown with a thick, creamy beige head. Sturdy roasted malts in the nose, some ash, baking cocoa, dried and leathery berries. Medium sweet flavour with more assertive roast character, charred wood, some raisins, burnt pine, bittersweet chocolate. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced in the finish, with more robust roasted malts, dark chocolate, burnt coffee and lightly oily pine, some scorched earth. A really solid overall stout. Nice depth, and also really drinkable.

Can at home in London - sourced from Royal Mile Whiskies, Bloomsbury. Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a billowing, frothy off-white head. The nose holds grainy pale malts, ripe and lightly dried citrus fruits, some orange rind. Light to medium sweet flavour with lots of crackery pale malts, some pine needles, more rindy citrus, jammy orange, nips of lightly toasted caramel. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes with more crackers, dry pine, rindy bitterness. Well, I fear this one may have been sitting a bit too long. Not much vibrancy to it. Overall, just so so.
