Black with a brown, lasting head. Intense aroma of dark malts, licorice, chocolate and molasses. Very sweet, still licorice and molasses, only a hint of bitterness in the finish. Very full and creamy mouthfeel.

Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (thanks JP). Pitch black with minor beige head. Aroma is ashes, coffee, caramel malts, roasted malts and some slight notes of toffee. Flavour is rather much the same, but has a clearly stronger chocolaty tone. Very pleasant.

albertane (378) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, ENGLAND - DEC 19, 2008
A very dark brown, almost black beer, Devout Stout is smooth and rich with an alcoholic kick. Its flavours combine brown sugar, aniseed, and coffee. Not quite as good as their porter, this is still a very enjoyable beer from Alcazar.

DruncanVeasey (5136) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - JAN 17, 2008
UPDATED: JAN 24, 2008 Bottle. Heavy pitch pour with Caramac-coloured suds receding to a halo. Aroma smoked and slightly vinous, with coffee, cocoa, prunes, yeast extract and a potent slug of booze. Creamy warming palate exuding smoke, more prunes, bitter chocolate, black coffee and alcohol glow. Lingeringly bitter and charred. Nice.

Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours pitch-black with almost no head. What is there is thick and beige. Aroma is buttery, ashes, coffe, vinious and heavily roasted. Low carbonation. Flavour is hardly roasted, lots of coffee, rather flat feeling with a good dose of chocolate as well. Surprisingly nice.
