| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2009 JET black, thick, engine oil...or grease. A sipper at best, this crazy and obscenely priced blended stout is bursting with malt whiskey cask character. BIG everything. Let this one breathe for at least 30 minutes or an hour before even coming close to it. Absolutely amazing, don’t let the cat near this one. skortila (2903), Bunnik, Netherlands
