But oh well. Roasty, chocolate, bitter aroma is quite nice. Clean and malty. Flavor is a touch thin, lemony, nice-ish roast, mildly yeasty. Pretty decent. Needs more body. A lot more.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Black pour, with medium tan head. Nicely done stout, I enjoyed this. Caramel malt, roasted grain, notes of coffee and cocoa, dark fruit, and nuts. For how malty this beer is, it’s very dry, with some hops in the finish. Medium mouthfeel, and smooth.

Black with a fleeting brown head. Nice aroma is rich roasty malts with some caramel sweetness. Medium body. Nice flavor starts with sweet caramel, then turns dry with roasty, nutty malts, with a bitter hop taste to finish. Nice tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
