Dark dark brown, reddish tint, dark beige head. Aroma is instantly coffee and berries but also an unfortunately plastic note. Taste is coffee, creamy mocha, chocolate milk, some more light mixed berries.

Moderat malty aroma with notes of raisin. Huge, creamy, light brown head. Excellent lacing. Fully lasting longevity. Black body. Heavy sweet and liquorice flavor, and a long finish duration. Medium to full palate.

Pours black into the glass. Beautiful two-finger coffee colored head of thick foam. Retention is okay. Lacing is great. Very nice nose. Smells of cocoa, vanilla and leather. Roasted chocolate malts. Very nice smokey notes. Dark fruits. Big chocolate and coffee flavors. Huge roasted malt flavor. Slight hints of molasses, brown sugar, vanilla, and cherries. Touch of dried fig flavor. Here, also, is a very nice touch of smoke. Feels very good. Nice and medium thick body. Slick and almost oily. Personally, I’d like it to be a tad bit thicker, but it is still very good. This is an excellent representation of what a good stout should be. I’m very surprised that this is from outside of America. Tastes like a big American stout. Alcohol is very well hidden. This brew is extremely drinkable. I want more.

Pours a opaque dark brown with a sticky tan head. Aromas of anise, cocoa and light grassy hops. Very full bodied with flavors of milk chocolate, coffee, brown sugar, and earth . Its sweet and sticky on the palate with a long finish. A superb sout.

Tastes of burnt toast, coffee, some chocolate and other sweetness, along with a slight boozy taste as well. A nice sweet stout with good balance.

It poured a pitch black liquid with a light brown foam. It had a smell and taste of chocolate, smoke, soy sauce, burned toast. Smooth mouthfeel. Nice!
