Estonian version of the night

What about the beer?
Colour is intense black with tiny beige crown. Aroma has black coffee, sweet roasted malts and chocolate. Taste begins with sweet roasted malts and slight bitterness. Coffee joins the party right after the start. Near the finish we get a roasted hoppy bite, more coffee and dark chocolate. Aftertaste has bitter sweetness and roasted malts.

Absolutely beautiful beer. Sweet roasted malts with delicious coffee and chocolate flavours, not forgetting the smooth hoppy bitterness in start and finish. Superb Imperial/Baltic Porter as they should always be.

The beer is named the night, it is black and has dark flavours. So we pick a song with a theme and the feeling beyond sunset:

Originally released as a single in 1970, the song was written by Deep Purple.
