355ml bottle (Kaisla, Helsinki)
Practically black, thin head. Bizarrely, there’s the aroma of mouldy cheese. However, there’s also sweet dark fruits and coffee. The taste starts quite coffee-like, but as you let it sit in the mouth that builds up. And as you swallow, when the vapours rise up into the nose, it gets even stronger. Soft mouthfeel, good full body. The taste has burnt raisins too. Rich and smooth, and very tasty.

Jul 17, 2008 Dark brown/black pour with a creamy long lasting tan head. Aroma seemed to be a bit light, but there was some definate sweet roastiness. Flavor is better. Sweet dark caramel malt and chocolate, plus roasted coffee and grain. Palate is just a little thin, but still overall a very nice stout.

Jul 15, 2008 Opaque black with a long lasting off-white head. Mild roasted aroma. Taste is slightly bitter with a non-bitter finish and a sense of the oatmeal...drinks like a meal. Quite a good stout and a great alternative to the usual Guinness, especially at the low prices (under $3 USD for a Pint bottle) this can be had for. Will recommend this to all stout drinkers.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Sweet aroma, with bread, dough, oats, and coffee. Medium body, smooth, a little thin for a stout. Flavor is way more roasted than the aroma lets on, with notes of coffee, toast, and grass. A great beer, usually my dinner beer of choice.

Jul 10, 2008 Bottle 50 cl. Pours a dark brown with a light brown head. The nose is pale with tofee notes. The taste is more vinous than i remember but still with hints of the oats, chockolate and cofee. It has a rather bitter finish. For stouts I prefer a heavyer and thicker palate - this one is too waterish
