Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied stout with plenty of roast flavor as well as hints of molasses and chocolate. Ridiculous amounts of black and caramel malts make this stout smooth, creamy, and utterly opaque.

Pours just a hint off jet-black with off-tan thin head. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, hint of roast and some plums/raisins. Oh this is good. Very smooth, creamy, with a roasty and dry aftertaste that lingers. Chocolate, coffee and and a hint of fruit flavor very faint and fades as the roastiness steps up. Well balanced, nice flavor, nothing too extreme. If anything the palate is a bit light.

Pure black, small dark brown head. Chocolate aroma. Wonderful velvety mouthfeel with a beautiful and undeniably silky finish with plenty of flavours rolling across your tongue. Full bodied. Nice bitterness in the finish. Complex chocolate flavours develop in the finish. With a richer aroma, it would be nearly perfect. Breathtaking.

Bottle at Monks Cafe, Stockholm. Pitch black body with a medium brown head. ARoma has lots of coffee, roasted malt, caramel and chocolate. Flavour is coffee, roasted malt, coffee and light tobacco. Creamy texture. Lovely brew.

A strong aroma and a very opaque appearance. The mix of flavors includes a creamy caramel, coffee, licorice, grapes and cherries. Hearty, but very smooth for a stout.

3 bottles consumed, acquired via trade. Pours black as pitch with a very minimal tan head and solid lacing. Aroma is licorice, chocolate, toasted malt, a hint of earthy hop. Flavor is big on the toasted malt with less licorice than I expected and a solid chocolate backing that keeps it all in line. Another excellent beer from Bells, I really wish they distributed out here, I bet they’d find a huge market!

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee and a hint of liquorice. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, some liquorice and a dry, smotth, creamy finish with some coffee bitterness. Great balance. More or less what stout is all about. Lovely beer!
