Keg (One Pint, Helsinki)
Jet black, tan head. Rich full-bodied roasty taste, plenty of tangy details, including a dry burntness which stays for quite a long finish. Very aromatic when swirled around the mouth. Some slight coffee hint too. Covers the alcohol very well, and very drinkable.

(Drught) Pours black with a brown head. The aroma is of medium to heavily roasted and light to medium-burned malt with tones of dark caramel, molasses, dark chocolate, coffee and liquorice. Some orange peels are present alongside a tough US hoppiness of spicy pine and mild citrus/grapfruit. The flavour is heavily roasted and medium burned with tones of liquorice, coffee and mild tar. The mouthfeel is a bit sticky, rather thick and oily with a perfect carbonation. Light to medium sweet and medium bitter. Some oranges. Medium to full bodied.

Draught at the Rover, Göteborg
Black color; creamy head. It has a medium aroma of cardboard and roasted malt. Smooth flavor, round mouthfeel, with a good and balanced mix of roasted malt, caramel and very dark chocolate, that hides a nice hop; salty. The final is balanced too. Well brewed.
