750 ml bottle@Kallion Poirotti, Helsinki. Deep brown color, massive tan head. Slight aroma of deep-fried banana (no less!). Dark malty flavor with some yeast notes of yeast and with some alcohol in the background. Nice dry finish. Not a typical stout, but worth a try.

750 bottle with Brian at 3am after Novare. Nose is faint and sweet. Candi sugar sweetness and a light wispy body. I like thicker more intense stouts. This beer is a ggod entry level stout for thos ehwo like lighter fare.

Sweet aroma of plum and spice (coriander). Pours dark purple/brown with no head retention. Flavor is sweet plum and finishes with nice spice. Really unique, for a stout, but still very good. More like an Abbey Trippel than an english or american Stout. Worth a try, don’t be fooled by RB low rating.

750mL bottle, BB 6/27/08. After the cork shot into my vaulted ceiling and a few ounces found my carpet, this poured deep garnety brown with a short, but well-retained cap of beige head.. no further sign of the force that this opened with. The aroma picked up dark fruity sourness over lightly roasted chocolate and molasses notes.. some musty funk that I really dug in there. The flavor had dry, semi-sweet chocolate, molasses, and tobacco laced with sour fruity and yeasty notes.. the latter character almost made the finish refreshing.. odd, but tasty. Medium-bodied and dry on the palate with light grainy bitterness and the aforementioned fruity sourness.. cool style that I haven’t seen enough of.

Pours a dark brown with an impressive fluffy light brown head. The nose is disapointing and a little citrus-like blended with metal. The mouthfeel is light and too waterish for a stout. The taste is like melis, there is some toffeé, cacao and roasted malts... but all to little... where is the personality....?? A flat fading finish. Bummer
