(Bottle) Pours dark brown to black with a large nougat coloured head. The aroma well balanced with spicy yeast, grassy/herbal/spicy hops and well-integrated roast. Undertones of earthy and light sweet Christmas spices, liquorice root, menthol and a bit of dirt as the beer gets warmer. I do enjoy the nose, maybe just a bit strange when you dig deeper. The flavour is light sweet (almost dry), light to medium bitter and light acidic. Spicy and roasted Balanced, yet quite flavourful. The mouthfeel is clean and fairly soft with medium carbonation. Elegant and light spicy, noble hops on the finish alongside liquorice and light phenols (smoke). Medium bodied. Underrated.

Bottle. Don’t know if I’m drinking the same stuff as others, but this left me unimpressed. Looks nice enough, pours a blackish brown with a thick tan head that drops quickly but leaves a fair bit of lacing. Aroma is spices, coffee, burnt sugar and - most strikingly - smoke. Mouthfeel is very light with a bit of co2, taste is distinct bitterness up front but short finish. There’s not a lot of malty tones in there and it’s way too light to be labelled a stout in my book. In a way it reminds me of a rauschbier... Odd, this one.

(Bottle 12/10-2011) Light brown head, dark almost black color, medium co2, spicy sweet yeast aroma, some bitterness. BB date 2012, Lot no 01.

33cl bottle. Pours pitch black with a big lightbrown had. Smells light smoky. Tastes abit smoky, bitter and sour. Probably infected.

Clearly tangy scent with notes of yeast, spices and sweet malt. Taste is yeast, hops and tinted with a sweet malt base. In the aftertaste there is a slight lingering bitterness. There is a lot more before I call it a stout, but it counts on the other hand, as foreign ....

Draft. Pours near black with a beige head. Light roasty aroma with some light sweetness. The flavor has sweet and lightly roasted malts, with a hint of smoke. Nice.

Pours murky dark brown with chunks like poop water. Nice thick tan head leaves a swath of sticky lacing. Aroma and flavor show raisins, some roasted malt, and tart orange peel. Finishes slightly sweet and bitter.
