Appearance: Black, oil like when poured. Initial 2 finger thick tan head, which quickly reduced down to a thin layer of brown surface bubbles. Aroma: Smoky, roast coffee beans, bitter chocolate, slight vanilla and hint of molasses. Taste: Light sweetness, heavy bitterness (a bit like espresso coffee), and light tartness. Smoky, coffee and hint of chocolate. Palate: Medium body, smooth texture, little to no carbonation, long harsh bitter finish, astringent with warming alcohol kick. Comments: Served in snifter and left glass lace. Very tasty.

Aroma: Espresso, cocoa powder, vanilla, roasted malt and dark chocolate.

Appearance: Jet black body with the darkest brown head I’ve ever seen on a beer. Light lacing marks.

Taste: Incredibly drinkable for 10% ABV. Burnt toast, coffee and chocolate, but more fruity and tangy than the aroma suggests (brambles and prunes). Hint of brown sugar in the taste, but overall is quite bitter.

Palate: Medium body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation.

Overall: Rich, well balanced and insanely drinkable.

Bottle. Darkest Brown with a tan head. Burnt malt, smoke and tar on the nose. The chocolate is more apparent on the tongue and there’s a wack of coffee. Bitter and unyielding yet with a sweetness and a warming alcohol. A very rich and full bodied imperial stout which I enjoyed greatly.

Super black color with nice beige foam. Aromas of cocoa and coffee...super strong coffee taste, with a mild and balanced aftertaste. Not so hard to drink for a 10% alc beer. Very nice.

330ml bottle. Pours jet black in colour, foamy dark brown head that diminishes and aroma of rich chocolate, coffee, roasted malt. Taste is smokey, woody vanilla, roast malt, sweet chocolate, with cocoa and coffee notes and some spicy bitterness. Creamy mouth feel, full bodied, soft carbonation, warming boozy dry finish. Quite drinkable.

Had this on Tap while stopping in at Brewdog Manchester, the night before United took on West Brom (2-0) .. . deep black .. cocoa head .. burnt molasses, roast, and burnt tar .. . a bit thick, quite rich and heavy .. i’m toasted .. . . In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours jet black with a medium, very dense sinister dark tan head. Nose is heavy dark cocoa. Reminds me of the extremely bitter cocoa powder my dad uses for hot chocolates (some crap thats supposed to be healthy for you or something). Taste is very smooth. Smooth dark chocolate with vanilla undertones and light spice which helps balance everything out. Not too bitter, not too sweet. Very good balance for a 10% beer. Drinks very easily. Creamy mouth feel with lingering bitter sweetness leaving light warmth on the finish. A damn good beer

330ml bottle. Pitch black color. Tiny brown head. Dusty coffee, malty, chocolate ice cream in aroma. Nettle, malty, coffee beans, chocolate powder and roasted in flavor. Dry and dusty mouthfeel. Quite nice.

Bottle. Appearance: slick oily black, comically thick mocha brown head. Aroma: pepper, cocoa, coffee, hint of dark chocolate, metallic, vanilla pod, tons of malt. Flavour: big chocolate and vanilla bang, a little boozy, leather, wood, so rich, flavourful, tons of coffee, sticky as hell, spicy, long chocolate and oak finish.
