Estonian oil - rich stuff

What about the beer?
Colour is black with medium beige head. Aroma has heavily roasted coffee and burned wood. Taste begins with honeyed black coffee. Dark chocolate and roasted malts get on the train from the next station. Near the finish we get bitter and salty flavours. Aftertaste is bitter-sweet with burned malts.

This version of crude oil is a slow-sip pleasure. Mouthfeel is smooth and silky. Excellent porter with coffee, chocolate and roasted malt domination, supported by sweet, bitter and salty flavours.

It was the name of the brew that made me choose this song. Well, the rough Australian protest rock classic fits the mood of Must Kuld:

Midnight Oil: Beds Are Burning (YouTube)

From the 1987 album Diesel and Dust, the song was written by band members Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie and Peter Garrett.
