3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 FatPhil (6207) - Tallinn, - JUN 10, 2007
UPDATED: JUN 25, 2007 Draught (Ravintola Bruuveri, Helsinki).
Very variable in quality, great at its best, one time in four, I guess. Actually off a few times I’ve ordered it. Rating only at its best.
Wonderfully dark. Creamy maltiness on the nose. Hugely rich malty taste, plenty of bitterness too, but the malt stays as the aftertaste.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 fiulijn (10383) - Como, ITALY - MAY 20, 2007
Draught at the brewpub Black color; creamy head. Light aroma of caramel and roasted malt. The flavor is basically roasted malt, with caramel and some malt; the body is strong enough; maybe the bitterness deriving from the roasted malt is too much for me. Good.
