½ Idjit! 500ml, 7% - Sweden

Black color with a very small espresso head, which I just had to force out of the bottle.

Salty and licorice aroma. Some roastyness with hints of toffee.

Salty at first. Lot's of smoke hits you right away. Licorice, some roasted malts and tar. Tiny nit of tobacco. Pleasant hoppy bitterness towards the end. Dark chocolate.

Fun to try new Swedish beers.

Samuel Smith's The Famous Taddy Porter 550ml, 5% - England

Generous pour, "Guinness" black color with a light brown, thick head.

Lovely smell of roasted malts, sugar, toffee and some smoke.

Very light taste. Consists of tobacco, roasted malts, hints of coffee are well hidden, hoppy, bitter after taste.

Another great beer from SS with a surprisingly low abv of 5%.
