Kawa, czekolada, beczka, konsystencja oleju, wcale nie takie slodkie, kwaskowate posmaki. Wywazenie, rownowaga i kosmiczne cialo urywaja.
generalnie do piatki zabraklo podejscia pod gust. Bo pod wiekszoscia wzgledow, typu cialo, rownowaga, ukrycie alko, intensywnosc - moze robic za piwo referencyjne. Ale zarazem jak dla mnie za malo beczkowe, za malo #teamslodyczka i moze minimalnie za kwaskowate posmaki (to po pooddychaniu w szkle zniknelo).
Mariox (735) - Warsaw, POLAND - JUL 30, 2018UPDATED: JUL 31, 2018 W aromacie czekolada deserowa, praliny, lekka kawa, intensywna woń dębiny, nuty wanilli, lekkiego prażonego kokosa, suszonych owoców, melasy, szlachetnego destylatu. W smaku słodkie, lekko kwaśna kawa, rozpuszczone praliny. Na finiszu kawowy, kremowy posmak. Alkohol szlachetny, ciało niesamowicie głębokie, gęste, oleiste, potwornie intensywne piwo w aromacie, mocno degustacyjne. Obok KBBSa naprawdę genialne piwo.

koleminer20 (4594) - Wayne, Michigan, USA - OCT 19, 2016From notes. Enjoyed this as part of the long-anticipated Toppling Goliath Brouhaha with Travis, Chris, Doug, and Ryan at Travis’s house on September 24. Gold-waxed, 2015 vintage, 22 oz bottle shared by me. The pour on these TG stouts is crazy. Dark black, thick and viscous with a thin brown ring of head that dissipates without leaving a trace. The aroma is excellent. Chocolate, fudge, vanilla, heavy roast, a ton of molasses, light hints of dark fruits, tons of bourbon. It’s just as good as Assassin, but the flavor is where it separates itself. The molasses is huge. The chocolate and vanilla fudge are incredible. The thick roast and light charred oak balance incredibly. The booze is lighter than the nose and adds just a subtle offering. This is spectacular. The mouth feel is thick and heavy with a soft carbonation and a lingeringly sweet molasses and chocolate and vanilla fudge with a hint of bourbon. Fuck this is good.
