A big thanks to nbutler11 for this. Nice brew! Nearly black pour, nice tan head. Aroma is loaded with dark chocolate, dry earthy notes, pepper, molasses, ash. Flavor is up front chocolate, molasses, black pepper, and a pretty nice hop finish. Enjoyable!

Bottle, shared with JimWight. Pours a black color with a sudsy, dish soap looking head. aroma is roasty, molasses, coffee and some fruit. Flavor is also roasty and quite thin to be honest. I got some light notes of chocolate. I was underwhelmed with this.

About as dark as it is possible to get. There was a touch of russet in the dimple of the glass, but pitch black. Mocha head that sits happily on top of the glass. Aromas of muscatele raisins, port and cut grass. Mature and fulsome. The flavours are just as pronounced with the emphasis on prunes and Zinfandel. Glorious. A real heavy hitter and the best stout I’ve had in months.

Bottle shared by beerboxer. Pours black with a massive light brown head and a strong treacle aroma. There is a hearty coffee and chocolate flavor with a slightly bitter treacle finish.

This opaque nearly black stout poured with a thin layer of beige colored bubbles and a fruity malt aroma. The flavor is chocolate and plum with a treacle chaser and, yes, a little coffee. It’s very tasty. I used half a bottle to make a batch of beef and beer, and it was delicious.

black with ruby highlights under a small brown head. smoky, meaty, roasted aroma with chocolate. flavor is smoky and meaty with dark chocolate and bitter coffee. light on the hops which is a plus for me. medium bodied and smooth.

330 ml bottle gifted by friend and consumed on November 12. Pours black with a brown chocolate head that slowly dissipates. Smell is sweet with some vanilla and milk chocolate. Taste is sweet with roasted malt, coffee, bitter chocolate, liquorice and a sweet taste of alcohol. Finish is bitter with heavily roasted, almost burnt, malts.

Keg at brewdog. Black (darkest brown). Lovely nose. Cocoa powder. Chocolate and coffee roast flavour. Fyvie reckons it’s tidy in stews. I believe him.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, some chocolate and coffee. Also notes of alcohol. The same in the taste. An ok beer but nothing spectacular.

Kola/champagneaktig doft Mycket alkohol i smaken, brända toner, kola, kaffe och viss sälta. Eftersmaken ganska spritig, besk - men annars helt ok :)
