It smells of chocolate and roasted malt. It pours jet black with a light beige head. Full bodied rich flavour with pronounced chocolate and coffee notes. Finish is dry. Very good.

36cl, Winter 11-12, at 10%Vol, American brew, from Beers of Europe Setchey, complex sweet Stout, malty/roasted and slightly spicy/sweet, not too heavy, very balanced, hazy, good head, very good Winter brew

Pours a deep dark slightly viscous black with a small brown head. Aroma is a strong chocolate with some roasted dark malts and espresso. Taste is chocolatey, with some roasted dark malt, espresso, and some hops and dark cacao bitterness. A rich full bodied and slightly viscous mouth feel with moderate carbonation on the palate. Finished with a bitter sweet choclatey and roasted dark malts, some espresso, ending is a long sweet lingering bitter chocolate flavor. Overall a delicious, flavorful, satisfying and nicely balance brew. A very enjoyable drink.

33 cl bottle @ home. Pours black with a small mocha head that slowly fades leaving a little lacing. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and a hint of booze. Taste is similar to the aroma. Abv is quite well hidden.

Bottle @ Home Pitch Dark with a receding 2 finger head roasted malt chocolate coffee and a hint of booze in the aroma strong roasted malt flavoring that recedes to dark chocolate leading to a biter spicy alcoholic finish body is thick carbonation is soft texture oily to creamy

on bottle at home Black color, ok foam Full body & high complexity and viscosity Coffe, choclate and some hops Very enjoyable

12 ounce bottle. Poured pitch black. Huge roasted malt presence, chocolate-dark bitter chocolate, dry finish. A nice beer, could not drink more then one in a single sitting.

Bottle. Thick black pour with a creamy tan head that lasts a while. Aroma is very roasty with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, almonds, raisins, cherries and caramel. Flavour mirrors the aroma. Mouthfeel is thick and creamy with soft carbonation and a lingering roasty, bitter chocolatey finish. This is a superb stout; as thick as they come, it has the texture of a liquid dessert. Simply delicious.

Aroma is roasted malts, a light chocolate sweetness and some vinous notes. The flavor is heavy on the chocolate and roasted malts, along with vinous notes that lead to a tart/fruity malty finish.

Bottle. Black color, tan head. Rich appealing chocolate aroma. Full flavor with dark chocolate, cocoa and a hint of coffee. Excellent balance. Full body, medium carbonation. Superb.
