A vigorous aroma of chocolate, vanilla, cherry, coffee and roasted malt. Poured pitch black with a huge creamy, long lasting tan head. Left a lot of lacing. Flavor of Sweet Milk Chocolate, Sweet Cherry, light touch of vanilla, strong black coffee, bitter black chocolate,with a hint of smoke and roasted malt. Excellent flavor! Full body, a thick, creamy, yet chewy texture. A bit above average carbonation. A pleasant, short, sharp finish. A excellent stout! I served this in a pint at 45 degrees. This has it all in a stout. If you like them thick, sweet and yet bitter, black and rich this is the stout for you! I am very impressed with this stout and this definitely gets added to my favorite rotation. THe only problem I could see with this brew is that one is enough, but is that a problem? :)

Solid stout, thick, dark, yes we can...............................................

Bottle. Matte black with a dense, tan head. Aroma is somewhat muted. Chocolate and roasted malt with a nod at imperial figginess off in the distance. Ideal carbonation makes for an agreeable foaminess. Flavour is typical roasted malt and chocolate. Just a touch of fruitiness which is a relief. I was prepared for an overly alcoholic sweet stout. Instead, I got perhaps the best tasting stout I’ve ever drunk.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown with huge firm creamy tan head. Dark malty, roasty, slightly spicy aroma, some liquorice. Slightly sweet dark malty taste, dry spicy finish.

This is a strong one... LOTS of flavor and will make you stand up and take notice of this beer. Roasted and strong. Great dark and heavy flavor.

11.2oz bottle (8.8% ABV) - pours black with voluminous brown head. Nose is roasted coffee. Flavor adds old-timey fruit, alcohol and dark chocolate. Full body. Taste is sweet and bitter. I am surprised by the strength of this beer.

Bottle shared at Haket, Goteberg. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roast malt, dark fruit and vanilla. Same aspects in flavour. Medium body and low carbonation.

Kolsvart öl med cappuccinofärgat skum. Här är det mängder med danskt rågbröd i doften, men också mörk choklad och kaffe. Samma går igen i smaken, ihop med vanilj. Också anas viss surhet, är det röda vinbär? Mycket väl sammansatt öl.

Bottle. Very dark with thick tan head that slowly dissipates and has some nice lacing. Smells of coffee and chocolate covered cherries. Moderate bitterness, roasty, and a little astringency. Clean bitter finish, fairly light bodied.

From the bottle poured a very dark brown brew with a thick brown head. Aromas and flavors of malt, coffee, and chocolate. Medium bodied and tasty.

nearly black, nice head. quite complex with chocolate, coffee and other goodness. i’m not a big fan of stouts but this is among the best i have had. drinks smooth.
