Bottle. Pours soild black with a large, lasting, tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, plums an dates. Soft carbonation. One of my absolute favorites!

Beautiful sepia color with a short-lived yet rich, creamy tan head. There’s some roast malt and chocolate in the nose, but it’s driven by very sweet, sugary fruit: plum, raisin, near grape juice. Flavor is similarly fruity, more coffee present than chocolate, long in sweet malt. Full bodied and rich, it’s not quite as smooth as I’d like. Still a great beer; my main regret was it being only 33cl.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Pitch black colour with a nice brown head. Roasted malt and liquorice aroma. The flavour is sweet, liquorice and roasted malt with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Long, roasted and bitter aftertaste. Full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel. Delicious Porter.

Sep 17, 2008 330 ml bottle. Pitch black, with a thick creamy light brown head. Sweet aroma of roasted malts, dark fruits, coffee and dark chocolate. THe flavour is like the aroma, with a nice bitter and slightly burned hoppy finish. Smooth mouthfeel. By far the best Finnish beer I’ve tasted.
