Colour is black with almost non-existing white crown. Aroma has charcoal roast, sweet black coffee and some fresh vanilla. Taste begins with gentle, slightly sweet roast flavour. Dark-roasted and slightly sweet coffee dominates the taste with malts and spices in the background. Towards the end chocolate malts and vanilla come through. Aftertaste has malty roast and some spicy charcoal dryness.
Deep and delicious Stout. Sweet roast and coffee, malts and vanilla. What's there to say? I'd love to drink this on every windy, rainy and cold autumn night. Excellent brew by the artisans from Tampere.

Deep dark stout has to paired with southern state blues. This song is often interpreted to refer to SRV's personal, and eventually won, fight against alcohol addiction but others have thought that it's about living life to the fullest, moment by moment. Either way the song has similar positive mood as the brew gives.
