Taste:strong sweet dark malts. Sample turned in hot summer day bit too warm. No remarkable hops shown tlind2 (208), Helsinki, Finland Jul 28, 2008 Draught@SOPP2008, Helsinki. Very deep brown color, tan head. Sweet aroma with some licorice. Flavor has notes of unsweetened chocolate and juicy malts. Syrupy mouthfeel.

Almost opaque dark brown color, small tan head. Milky, smokey, roasted dark malty aroma. Milky, sweetish stout with light roastyness. Way too sweet for being "Russian Imperial Stout" (as seller claimed).
