3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Appearance: About as black as a liquid can get, with a small rough tan head. Carbonation? I have no idea, there is a bit on the surface but it’s dark to see any inside.
Aroma: Rich dark roasted malts. Strong coffee. Smoked wood chips. Also, a tiny bit like bacon, very weird.
Taste: Smokey, roasted malts. Chocolate but more milky than dark. Light coffee, and also hints of kola nut. The aftertaste is bittersweet as the brewers suggest.
Mouthfeel: Heavy, silky, smooth, creamy, and incredibly thick.
Drinklability: Beautifully silky ale, with rich and moreish flavours. Most people who know anything about beer will have already tried this, if you haven’t, then you should.

Poured dark brown-black with one finger of frothy tan foam. Beautiful thick looking beer. The aroma had a rich sweetness of milk and sugar and plenty roasted malt flavors going on as well. A nice malt presence was felt immediately in the taste. Intense, but still smooth. A little bit of chocolate sweetness and maybe some stone fruits. Very drinkable for a relatively heavy bodied beer with good carbonation. Wow, I could do this one again soon.

From 330 ml bottle. It pours a solid black with a brown head. Vanilla, coffee and chocolate are evident on the nose. The taste has more chocolate and deep roast malt with a slight smoky note. Maybe a bit surprising but for all the big flavours, the beer is remarkably well-rounded. The palate goes on for a mile too. Very nice.

De color negro y espuma marron poco densa pero persiatente, tiene mucho cuerpo como duce su nombre parece aceite de motor. Aromas, predominan las roasted malts y las notas cafetosas y achocolatadas, encuentro toques a pan recien hecho. Sabor cafetosos y chocolate con sabores mas dulces para teminar con un toque de amargor de lupulo
