One of the best stouts I have ever tried. smooth, rich with plenty of chocolate overtones. You cannot go wrong!

TheCametron (802) - SCOTLAND - JUN 1, 2012
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.

Idiosynkrasie (547) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - MAY 26, 2012
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.

Chudwick (565) - Taylor Mill (KY), FRANCE - MAY 20, 2012
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.

kermis (998) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - MAY 8, 2012
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.

mzaar (445) - Varberg, SWEDEN - MAY 7, 2012
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.

tia (467) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - MAY 5, 2012
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.
