<i> Bottled. </i> Dark brown colour. Bubbly light brown head. Lots of chocolate in aroma, with tad caramel and bit mackerel. Peppery chocolatey flavour backbone with long&#40;chocolatey&#41; finish. Medium bodied. Low, yet noticable bitterness.

&#40;Bottled&#41; Clear, very dark reddish brown color with a very small, beige head. Aroma of slightly sweet, roasted malt with some vegetably-irony-sewery hints &#40;or is it chocolate?:&#41;. Initially very irony flavor with roasted, slightly burned malt, and lots of mocha. Silky-smooth, medium-bodied palate with low carbonation - almost like from a nitro can. Once you get used to the iron, this is actually quite pleasant and very smooth stout. Not too sweet, either, and certainly better than I expected.

<i>Bottled</i> &#40;BB 08/2007&#41;<br /> Top-fermented beers from Estonia are few ... Good classic Baltic porter outlook: very dark ruby-brown color, good expresso head. Dark toasted malts and alcohol in the nose. Fizzy mouthfeel - a bit too carbonated. Medium to full bodied. Taste is actually quite similar to Estonian Baltic porters or "tume"-beers, this has fuller body than most of them although. Caramelly sweetish, burned sugar flavor, alcohol picks up in the aftertaste, lacks roasty flavors usually present in the stout. I like drinking dark Estonian beers, this one too, but this is not very good example of top-fermented stout - without knowing I could guess this being Baltic porter.
