UPDATED: FEB 12, 2019 Аромат шикарный, много кофе и кофейных зерен, немного черного шоколада и солода, легкая кислинка. Цвет чернущий, пена отличная, мелкопузырчатая, кофейного цвета. Вкус разочеровал. Сразу много кислости от кофе, при глотке еще большая кислинка, легкие винные нотки. Послевкусие кофейное, с нотками сена и какао. Очень сильная хмелевая горчинка, которая забивает весь вкус. В общем странно, может не та бутылка попалась.

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2019 Dark brown, almost black with small brown head. Slight roasted aroma. Strong bitterness with remarkable coffee and roasted grain notes. Bitter dusty.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2018 [email protected], Tampere, Finland. Medium/Strong balanced nuances of dried dark fruits, roasted malts, some dark chocolate and a hint of waxy notes. Wide taste spectrum and long aftertaste with roasted malts. Strong/medium body with medium/light carbonation. Overall, highly organic, still stylish schoolbook-like product. Not too distinctive though. 7 4 8 4 17
