2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very roasty aroma of charred wood, plus coffee. Flavor is milky sweet to a degree, chocolate, roasted astringency. Medium bitterness, medium sweetness. Watery palate. Looks OK in the glass, head dies right away lingering as a light rim.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft. A black beer with a slight brown shine under a huge dark brown head. The aroma has strong notes of roasted malt combined with medium notes of chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, grain, straw, and bitter chocolate, leading to a dry chocolaty finish. The body is light.

Draught at the brewpub
The color is almost black. Light roasted malt aroma. Quite good flavor of roasted malt, dry, giving a bitter final; maybe too much roasted malt for me in the final. Not bad.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Had a tap of this at the pub. Served with a full, thick, golden brown head. Opaque black. Aroma was dark ripe fruits and a little of the traditional stout characteristics. Flavor was about the same with less of the fruit and a little more of the bittersweet chocolate and coffee; a bit of a sweet stout. Body was good, creamy with mild carbonation. Finish was bitter with a hint of sweetness. Session beer.

Keg (BrowArmia, Warsaw)
Black, beige head. Lovely rich roasty and burnt coffee aroma. Pleasant carbonation. Full palate - quite oily, and almost ashy. Persistent burnt bitterness. some sharpness. Malts don’t go much beyond the burntness, alas. GOod stoutm but almost thin.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draught, in Browarmia brewpub, Sept 2005. Of the four beers I tasted here, I left this one until last, allowing plenty of time to sup it. Bursting with dark chocolate (without beeing oversweet) and smoke flavours, with some burnt barley in there too.

Very nice but a little soft. The guys in there had a hard time trying to explain what were the beers.
