Opaque black beer, tidy pale tan head. Fresh palate, a little crispy. Nice dark malt - not bitter or roasty. Strong chocolate tone - cocoa and dark chocolate. Mild lactose. Mild orange hop in the finish.

Dark brown-black with fluffy off-white head. Rich malt chocolate, roast barley and dried fruits flavours with medium body and long rich roast finish.

Bottle @ Man in the Moon. Dark brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, hops. Flavour is fruity, licorice, roasted malts.

Bottle from brewdog Manchester. Tasty, dark chocolate and coffee. Perhaps a bit too fizzy but very flavoursome for the percentage.

2011bottle i cellar for a year. Pours black with low off white head Aromas of chocolate, some coffee, roasted malts, Mild and watery palate. Quite fine tunes taste. Smooth but nothing out of the ordinary. Nice but too watery is the overall impression

När jag läsar min recension av ölen upptäcker jag att jag inte var helt nykter när jag genomförde den. Med det sagt tyckte jag om ölen, den var god och intressant med sköna inslag av sötma och syra i smaken. Men av recensionen att dömma verkar jag ha varit mer intresserad av att häva, än analysera, ölen. Slutsats: jag är mänsklig.

0.5 l bottle bought from GBBF 2011. Black color. Aromas of salty licorice, leather, chocolate and burnt grass. Soft roasty taste with licorice, charcoal and nuts. Medium bitterness. Medium body. Salty licorice in finish. Good beer but kind of ordinary for a collaboration beer.

(Bottle) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of liquorice, strong black coffee, cocoa, ashes and dark rye bread. Roasted, malty taste with liquorice, black coffee, dark chocolate, a touch of tar and a generous roasty, piney bitterness in the finish. Medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel. Mainly dry, with just a hint of sweetness. Powerful, yet well balanced. Tasty and quite an excellent stout.

In bottle thanks to Colin : ) A black beer with a thick tan head. Awesome hoppy aroma of peach and passion fruit with a nice roasty malt and caramel backbone. Flavours of piney hops, dark chocolate, roasty malt and burnt toast. Nice coffee and pine finish. Moderate carbonation, mild CO2 prickle. Lovely.
