3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 MacMoney (410) - Espoo, FINLAND - APR 10, 2011
Draught at HBF2011. Pours a very dark brown with a large, latte head. Aroma is rather weak, roasted malts, some coffee notes. Fortunately taste is much stronger. Roasted malts yes, but dark chocolate as well as molasses and caramel, but mostly lots of coffee of the mocha variety. Quite sweet. Gets a bit too sweet nearing the end of the 2 dl portion. Some water had between gulps helps refresh the palate. Palate is full and sticky. Not much carbonation.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 mjs (2997) - Helsinki, FINLAND - NOV 9, 2010
UPDATED: NOV 11, 2010 (Draught at Pikkulintu) The beer poured black with small and light brown head. Aroma had roasted malts, coffee and hops. Palate was full bodied. Flavours were hops, ash, roasted malts, coffee and bitterness. Aftertaste was roasty and bitter. The aroma and the taste of this beer have nothing new but still the combination is surprising in a pleasant way. This deserved another try..

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - NOV 8, 2010
(Draught@Pikkulintu) Interesting, fruity aroma hops in this, with licorice notes. Initially quite burned, but that went away rather quickly. Some sourness, black coffee. Quite nice and balanced - but like TBone said, this one "needs more studying". 5546
