Draught@Pikkulintu
Pitch black-brown color, small brownish head, some lace. Chocolaty, sweet cocoa-coffee nose, yeasty. Flavor is coffeish with sweet cocoa notes, roasted and slightly hoppy finish. Soft palate, decent body.

Black colored with medium sized beige head. Rich roasted coffee aroma with chocolate and flowery Plevna house character. Medium bodied, smooth palate. Flavor is rich with coffee roastiness dominating, aftertaste is mildly bitter with some floral and grassy touch. Definite Plevna brew with quality.

Roastedness, bitterness, coffee, malts, sweetenss and lightly creaminess in taste. Coffee and bitterness in aftertaste. Very easily drinkable and tasty.

jet black, tight tan head. slightly burnt coffee aroma, not particularly big, but it was a little cold. Pleasant carbonation, full bodied quite smooth palate. Tasty burnt roast, coffee present, but far from dominant. goes down very easily.

(Draught@Pikkulintu) Very dark brown with a medium, creamy, firm and beige head. Milky sourness in the aroma with some chocolate and smoothly roasty malt. Flavor is roasted-coffeeish and sweetish, with the milky sourness going all the way through the finish. No bitterness to speak of. Smoothly rounded, slightly thin palate is saved by the creamy softness. A nice and easily drinkable morning coffee, but I would have liked more body.

Draught @ Pikkulintu. A thick beige head that lasts quite a long time. Roasted malt and coffee in the aroma. The taste is dominated by coffee. A hint of roasted malt is also noticeable. A bit too much coffee for my taste.
