3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap (Black Door, Helsinki)
Very dark red, nearly black. Black tea aroma. Stodgy burnt roast body, but no astringency despite it being quite dry. Full and smooth palate, a little bit of carbonation cuts throught the smoothness. Pretty decent drinkable dry stout. A bit unsophisticated. Late finish is a bit astringent.
