3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20500mL bottle. Poured cola brown with a fairly short-lived yellowy-tan head. The aroma picked up near-burnt black malts, dry-roasted chocolate, and nice, toasty barley with accents of vanilla and churned earth (way deep down). The flavor found similar stuff.. mostly roasted barley and chocolate notes at the core, with vanilla, lesser molasses, and some tart malty notes around.. picked up some earthy bitterness to join vanilla and toasted barley/chocolate on the finish. Medium-bodied with a few too many residual sugars on the palate.. smooth, almost creamy feel across the middle.. very good feel and flow. This drank very well, but it certainly didn’t try to stand out in any way.

Smak och doft av choklad, kaffe, karamell, laktris, toner av rök och apelsin. Lagom sötma, len och krämig munkänsla med en bra bitter beska. En riktigt god stout med klassisk engelsk känsla.

Bottle 0,50L. Black coloured, with small beige creamy head, that goes into a crown and stays until the end. Aroma of dark chocolate, caramel, coffee, smoke and lasts long. It’s very smooth and creamy and it’s real plessure to drink. It’s maybe not overall 5, but when we’re talking stout, it’a a winner for me!

Thanks for sharing Gabriel!
Pours nearly opaque black/brown with an orange highlight. Smallish light tan head that falls to a ring. The smell is dark roasted malt, chocolate, licorice. The taste is roast, dry right off the bat, dark chocolate, hint of coffee with a dry finish and slight bitterness. Medium/full in body with medium carbonation. Overall it is a nice beer but not amazing.
