Black color, medium head, beige colored. There is roasted malt aroma, ashes; luckily some alcohol too, that in this case fits well for the balance; light smoke and soy sauce, if possible. Medium strength and body, with a dryish chocolate flavor, burnt malts, light liquorice. The final is dominated by the chocolate, not bad but not exciting either.

chocolate aroma immediatly upon opening the bottle and even before pouring the thick black liquid into the glass, nice tan head, rich roasted chocolate aroma and flavor, flavor just keeps getting richer as it warms, lots of bitterness in the finish that eventually becomes too much after a while, overall a very good stout except for the overdone bitter malt finish

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled. It pours a deep brown, almost black, with a reddish hue, and it looks clear, with a dense tan head. Coffee, chocolate, roastiness, cigarette-smoke and cola in the aroma. The flavor has cocoa, chocolate, roasted malt, tobacco-smoke and a little dryness. Drying, full-bodied mouthfeel and a very chocolate-like finish. A lovely organic beer. (070119)
