4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Rich aroma of coffee, chocolate and fainter of licorice, pours a strong, brown head with dark brown appearance. Quite sweet with very good bitterness with roasted coffee notes. My first foreign stout, enjoyed the sweetness, impressed and suited me well.

Bottle at Il Bar Sotto Il Mare. Dark brown/black pour with a tan head. Dark roasted malt aromas with just a hint of licorice. Nice thicker body with good carbonation. Bitter up from with a nice roasty middle and semi sweet finish. Lots of dark roasted malts, toffee, bitter cacao and hint of licorice. Very impressed by this beer.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Dark brown with a tan head. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma. A lot more flavourful than the draught version. I found that one a dissapointment and this one a very enjoyable beer.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark, near black with brown head. There’s roasted matls and some hoppy bitterness, along with some undefinable sweetness (maybe toffee). Nice stout, but not as good as most impies.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
33cl bottle at home. Exactly 1 year old.
Black, mokka head. Nose is very roasted, dark malts, bit cold coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is once again very roasted, not as full as I like a stout to be. Aftertaste lasts pretty well, roasted, coffee and chocolate.
