FatPhil (25978) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 31, 2018UPDATED: FEB 3, 2018 Tap (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) (6:4:5:2:10=2.7)
Crazy sweet vanilla and roast and soy aroma, smells like it's going to be heavy. Black, small beige head. Slick heavy palate, sticky, alcohol vapours clear, carbonation there but doesn't cut through the sliminess. Adjuncty roasty taste, lots of cheap boost here. Finish has some chocolatey aspects, dry bitterness. This is baaaad for an impy. Fuxake, why aren't a good, sorry great, brewery like Plevna doing a beer for Tipu's birthday - have they fallen out?
