COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A stout, as black as the ace of spades. Brewboys has crafted a fine stout with rich, complex, dark roasted character. With abounding coffee-like aroma, and strong cocoa bean bouquet, the aromatics are as striking as the appearance. You can’t get any blacker. Roasted malted wheat, Choc chit malt, and black malt are all called upon to intensify the blackest beer we could possibly make. Recognised as champion stout brewers, both Stephen and Simon revelled in the challenge of outdoing their own efforts at perfecting the balance of roastedness, mouthfeel, aftertaste and alcohol, in this inimitable drop. Volatiles, including vanilla bean and herbaceous fermentative profile dissipate over the glassful, leaving the drinker with an earthy back palate. This stout is best described as an extra stout, not dry or sweet. It has a hefty mouth feel, well balanced with a moderate alcohol and bitterness leaving you wanting more. Aromas and flavours re more abundant when served at warmer temperatures. In the cold of winter, drink it straight from the cupboard or cellar temperature, but if you must chill it, no lower than 10°C. Cheers.

Bottle thanks to Maneliquor. Pours jet black with a dense dark tan coloured head. Hangs around for a while before slowly falling away to nothing. Good aromas of milk chocolate and expresso coffeee. Really nice nose. Flavours show heaps of roasted grain bitterness and espresso coffee. Fullish mouthfeel Nice beer.

Bottled. A black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of sweet and roasted malt as well as alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and alcohol, as well as lighter notes of vegetables, leading to a dry roasted finish.

maneliquor (1188) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - APR 4, 2011
Wasn’t expecting much at all but very happy with this brew, especially after their charger lager. Pours a thick, oily looking black with a big tan head. Burnt wood are a ncie change in the aroma with the additions of mocha and molasses. Heavy roasted malts with some bitter chocolate and roasted coffee to finish. Long lasting. Very pleasant stout indeed

Bottle @ Oz’n’NZ tasting 2011. [thanks bluebetty]
Light hazy chestnut black with a medium, creamy, beige head. Aroma has dark chocolate, light astringency, some coffee. Medium carbonation, good dry mouthfeel. Flavour is dry, coffee, fairly astringent, some watery notes, light smoky and roasted. Okay, but not fantastic.
