3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A surprisingly delicate aroma given the rich viscous pour. Taste is initially rich fruit with a peppery kick. Finishing with a rich roasted bitterness and a tangy heat from the booze. Cracking!

Poured into a tulip glass from a 2012 12oz bottle. Pours a dark black color with a tan head that leaves decent lacing. Aroma is of dark fruit, caramel, chocolate and a hint of coffee. Tastes of a strong bittersweet chocolate with a nice coffee undertone with maybe a hint of fruit. Mouthfeel is very full and well carbonated. Overall a decent beer but i’m not sure if I’m a fan of the style.

Thx to Palme for this one !
Head; cappucinno,foamy/bubbly
Colour: black
Smell: dark sticky sweet roasted and caramelized malts, slight smokeyness, bit of booze, bit sweet
Taste: start is very creamy and tastes like chocolat, almost a chocolat mousse, then comes in a slight smokey and irony bitterness , mostly from the roasted part of the malts, when swallowd a bit more of that clayish smoked flavour hits in and leaves a earthy oily textured flavour and bitterness, the end is suprisingly grassy in flavour, mouthfeel is dry, nice one !

355ml bottle. Two year old bottle. Pours Black with tan head that doesn’t really last. Earthy on the nose with licorice and dark chocolate. Hits the palate with more licorice and chocolate. Finishes with a big dry dark chocolate note. A little light in body.

Bottle from Alko. Black color, full brown head. Strong taste with liquorice, chocolate, some alcohol. Long lasting, roasted finish. Great stout, but could be even better with some aging.

Pours thick dark black with aromas of roasted malts. Taste is more of the same, no chocolate here despite the name. Very standard stout.

2009 bottle tasted in 2012. Jet black colour, slightly foamy. big cocoa and dark chocolate note, roast, cake aroma but it also has a licorice and earthyness. Full bodied brew, dry finish, big chocolate note, roast and lingering flavour. wow, another good brew.
