4.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Tab at Ølbaren. The almost perfect stout! Perfection is for The Gods bit this is close. Thick creamy head, creamy but not sweet mouthfeel, divine roastiness and other black flavors. And hops to balance it all. I need not much else.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Draught@Pikkulintu, rated 2011-09-22) Almost black with a small, beige head. Roasted maltiness in the nose, with hints of salty licorice and chocolate, plus a touch of oatmeal sourness. Quite burned-malty flavor, but with malt sweetness and salty licorice balancing. Medium to full body, soft CO2. Not perfect in anyway, nor very complex - but one of the better ones from this brewery.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Draught at Pikkulintu, 20110921) The beer poured black. Its head was medium sized and light brown. Aroma had burnt malts, coffee and ash. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were burnt malts, ash, liquorice, hint of fruitiness and medium bitterness. Aftertaste was burnt, ashy and bitter. Too burnt for my taste but nicely balanced flavours.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From the tap. Poured black, little head, the usual stout story. Maybe it was just my own sensitivities, but this was practically like drinking a coffee with some alcohol in it. Obviously there was more to it than that - roasted malts and chocolate were definitely present - but it was pleasantly coffee dominant. Bitterness to ride it out.
