4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Slightly translucent and blackened chestnut in color with soda bubbles and popping oysters at the surface. Aroma paves the way for greasy, oily chocolate to saturate the nose, echoing fervently with buttery mocha beans, lactic and dense almond fudge and slightly burnt pumpernickel bread soaking in dark chocolate cocoa pools. Flavor allures a vibrant complexity, foremost with cocoa chocolate oats sticking at the bottom of a milky, espresso laden café concoction. Oily body with mere traces of carbonation makes the mouthfeel subside less enthusiastically than the expectations that the palate has for the liquid. A trace of alcohol rears its head as the syrupy coffee flavored lozenge gets torn apart through diffusion across the tongue. A charcoal flavor with burnt molasses and heavily roasted mocha beans hangs around after the sticky, coffee flavored syrup extends itself down the hatch.

Color negro opaco, con espuma beige abundante y densa. Aromas especiados, canela y maltas tostadas con ligeros toques alcohólicos. En boca es compleja, posee un sabor intenso en el que se integran de forma muy equilibrada toques dulces y amargos acafetados que se muestran simultáneamente, aunque finalmente se imponen éstos últimos. No obstante, también se deja ver un ligero picazón muy agradable. posee una densidad media que facilita mucho su trago. ¡¡¡Sorprendente!!!

Great stout with the alcohol not taking over all the taste. Nice bitterness and sweet taste, maybe a little too sweet for my taste. Nice balance, but a little much towards the sweet side.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours black in color with a creamy beige head. Roasted notes, some licorice, roasted coffee and peppery spicy notes in aroma. Sweet chocolate cake in taste, some strong coffee and bit of burnt brown sugar in flavor. Pretty nice flavor, even if it feels quite sweet from time to time. Rich mouthfeel though, roasted notes and some dark bitter chocolate in aftertaste and long-lasting roasted notes of coffee. A bit of cardamom spicyness and slight burning warmth in finish.
