3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 zenkis (263) - Ogre, LATVIA - MAY 13, 2013
355ml bottle.
For 9.7% alco this one is surprisingly non alcohol dominant, smooth, easy drinkable (that’s the catch!)
Pours hazel nut deep hazy brown with small beige-yellowish cap, but foam stamina is long lasting, minimal lacing. Aroma - sweet malty, dark fruity, pine, yeasty a lot, seems a bit wooden too, no alcohol.
Flavor - sweetish malty, far away notes of toasted malt or light chocolate something, a bit spicy and astringent on tongue. Something between Belgian and English strong ales. Yeasty and piney. Medium bodied, soft velvet texture, minimal dry so as finish, pleasantly soft astringent mouthfeel.
Very pleasant brew, very well, balanced, chill-out bouquet. Not high rating from me cause it could me more multifaceted.

Pours dark ruby with a small cream colored head. Aroma of malt and some spice, caramel, and dark fruits. Low carbonation and slick mouthfeel, on the heavy side. Burnt toffee flavor, some scotch, oats, hint of spice. Bitterness and some chocolate. Overall a bit bland on my tastebuds but not bad.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Nocturne (383) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - MAY 8, 2013
355ml bottle. Dark amber with thin ring of head. Very nice aroma with peaty malt featuring prominently. Smoked ham and buttery toffee notes too, and faintly fruity in a way. Carbonation seems high. The finish is nice and smokey, but what comes before it isn’t as interesting or distinctive. Decent overall but the taste profile could’ve been better.
