Davros (1477) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - OCT 10, 2012
Pours black with a lasting off-white head. Nose shows milk chocolate, vanilla, soft earthy coffee and gentle roasted malt. Similar flavours, quite sweet and very gentle. Could use some extra roasted malt to balance out the sweet chocolate and vanilla notes. Over-carbonated.

Lejos (8) - - OCT 1, 2012 does not count
Colore marrone scuro, vicino al nero, schiuma di colore beige, tostato. All’arone si sente quel carattere di pane fresco derivante dall’avena, in più un buon sentore di affumicato oltre al caffè. In bocca caramello, caffè e di nuovo avena e sentori affumicati. Ottima.

Sizzler80 (300) - Dublin, IRELAND - JUN 29, 2012
Dark brown/ebony pour with a thick beige head. Aroma: roasted malt, hops, peat, leather, coffee, vanilla. Palate: Bitter and slightly dry on first taste. Good carbonation. Earthy and sweetens as it warms. There is a dark fruity tang. Coffee, vanilla and malt all the way through. Refreshing. Nice summer stout :-) ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Leighton (6931) - London, ENGLAND - APR 11, 2012
Bottle at Tabarro, Parma. Pours black-brown with a cream, beige head. Sweet, woody, meaty aroma with mild dark and roasty malts. Medium sweet flavor with dark malts, dark sugars, some light earth, spices, dirt and old tobacco. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with light, wet burnt wood, dirt, faint grape tang, mild roast. There’s a slight vinous quality to the beer. So so overall.

[ASPETTO] marrone molto scuro , quasi nero, con leggeri riflessi porpora contro luce [SCHIUMA] beige, buona presenza, piuttosto fine e buona persistenza [ OLFATTO ] intensità media, malto torrefatto con sentori a caffè e cioccolato, lieviti, forse un leggerissimo tocco affumicato [GUSTO] buona intensità, con un tostato che sfocia in sapori di caffè, cioccolato amaro. Lasciano spazio ad un accenno di dolce sul fondo (cola) a cui poi segue una accenno di astringenza. Finale secco, amaro ma non intenso, che lascia un retrogusto secco ed una sensazione minerale. [TEXTURE] corpo medio, soave in bocca, media corbonazione, alcohol poco percettibile [COMMENTO FINALE] presentata come una via di mezzo fra irish stout a porter inglese…per quello che può significare. Comunque sia, una dark ale ben fatta, piacevole, pulita. L’avena sembra dare il suo contributo alla morbidezza in bocca. La carbonazione rimane al suo posto e i toni tostati soddisfano le apettative. Forse sul finale ha una leggera calata di tono, rimanendo un po’ piatta con toni non molto durevoli e sfuggenti ma nel complesso mi ha lasciato molto soddisfatto.
