What about the beer?
Colour is black with a tiny beige lace. Aroma has sweet espresso, dark
chocolate, roasted malts and spicy booze. Taste starts with sweet and
bitter espresso. Sweet roasted malts and strong espresso take over with
dark chocolate and spicy booze. Towards the
end dark chocolate bitterness and boozy sweetness take over. Aftertaste
has bitter cocoa, dry roasted malts and spicy alcohol.
Complex, simply superb Imperial Stout. Beautiful domination of dark
chocolate and sweet espresso, not forgetting the solid roast and growing
bitterness. Flavours seem simple but strong. Great work from this
rather new Estonian brewery.

Umbra, penumbra, antumbra. All are forms of shadows - umbra the perfect one, while the others are partial. Or something. Well, at least there's a lot of darkness in the brew. Probably some perfect and some partial.
