Makoisa, maltainen, hieman makea.

I've had this put away for quite a while but it's time to enjoy it. Developed a late night craving for a sweet dessert Stout while watching the World Cup. Very nice creamy dark tan head that's lasting. Aroma adds dark roasted malt, traces of chocolate. Flavor is a smoky char roasted malt full of bitter dark chocolate. Some dark stone fruit in the background. The smoky char still dominates with its earthy bitter characteristic straight through the finish. Texture is medium, not as heavy as you would expect from this powerful brew. As it warms the finish turns decidedly toward prunes and the bitter dark chocolate has now outlasted the smoky char. Not many beers that I have had handle the Smoky quality in a way that I like. This one balances the smoke with the dark chocolate and prunes so they compliment each other. Well done.
