On gravity at the London Drinker festival 12/3/08. Near black with a decent tan head. Roasted malt aroma with some dark fruit and chocolate. Smooth drinking with plenty more chocolate flavours and a dry finish. Good.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham, Gloucs. Black with tan head. Quite a bit of natural fizz on opening which gives the beer a bit of an over carbonated taste initially, but once settled down the other flavours spring forward. there is a thinnish coffee note with good dark roasted black malt with a hint of sweetness. Some fruitiness adds to a good mix, a pleasant stout.

Bottled. Very dark brown colour, mediumsized beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some smoked wet wood as well as some mild dark fruits as well. Flavour is roasted malts, mild nuttyness, some old coffee and chocolate as well.

Bottle. Black beer with a lightly roasted, bitter and mildly coffee aroma. The flavour is mildly roasted and coffee. Overall a nice mildly flavoured stout.

Black with a small but lasting light brown head. Aroma of cohocolate, roast malt and a little fruit. Flavour is sweet and fruity with just a little roast note.

Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (230808)

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear black with a reddish hue and a beige head. Burned malty aroma and a somewhat vinous, port-like edge. Medium body with good burned malts and dried fruit accents. Lightly bitter finish. A pleasant one. 230808

Bottle. A dark, dark brown beer with a nice tan head. Looking really good in the glass. Bonfire-sour, burnt aroma with charcoal and some coffee. Nice, but too burnt for my likings. The flavor folllows the same path, with bonfire sourness, charcoal, burnt malt, some coffee and a coffee-like bitterness. Long, burnt finish. Dry and full-bodied. A quite nice burnt beer, but I would like some hops playing a part too. (080823)

Bottled at Monks Cafe, Stockholm. Pours out in an almost black colour with a rich tan-coloured foam. Black chocolate, roasted malts, mint, chalk, currant-leaves and grapefruit-rind. Medium to full-bodied with notes of black chocolate, currant-leaves, berries and plenty of roasted malts. Grainy and rather chewy mouthfeel. Long aftertaste of black chocolate, lemon-rind, nut-shells and cocoa.

UPDATED: SEP 17, 2008 Botella. Hazy dark brown colour. Aroma of roasted malt with chocolate. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has good roasted malt, some smoke, chocolate, some coffee and some dark fruit. My thanks to Jan/fonefan.
