Ruskeassa tölkissä kurkistus junanvaunun ikkunasta ulos punertavaan maailmaan. Vaahto poreili pois jättäen jälkeensä mustan juoman.
Kahvin makua ja tuoksua. Tervapastillin makua eli voima pilkistää kaiken seasta.

This murky, jet black beer is part of a "Pastry Train" series that portrays various cakes. This cake is White Lady. I'm not a cake expert but Google advises me about the nature of this particular cake. 🍰
The carbonation is, understandably, suppressed. Still, a porous brass head falls short of one finger and dissipates quickly to a truly gossamer lace ring and soon to zero.
Vanilla custard, bowls of cream, milk chocolate, toffee and caramel find my nose in the first wave. The second tier portrays a hint of almond paste as well as remote blueberry and blackcurrant jam. Very cakey, looks like it matches nicely a White Lady pack.
The taste can't simply fly to the same altitude as what the fragrance reaches. Licorice, blackcurrant juice, a bit of blueberry, plum and a coffeeish vibe are the key elements of the taste. The impression is juicy, faintly sour and absolutely much less cakey than what the olfactory sector suggests.
The body is light-medium. The ABV would definitely merit a bigger body. The tail is quite similar to the first encounter but dark chocolate and cacao nibs ascend to the stage now. Not particularly impressive. White lady, please spare me; let the light in my aftertaste leave swiftly; oh, Spirit, I feel it for the love of f***ing beer, release it!
The mouthfeel is light-medium, juicy, autumnal, candy-like and lip-glueing. Starts beautifully in the air but flattens seriously on the tongue and to the finish.
P.S. The winter is obviously approaching: 1.5°C in the morning, frost on the grass. Chilly.
