courtesy of Antonio Ruiz - black in colour with a huge beige foam; robust aroma of mocha and vanilla; medium-bodied, creamy mouthfeel and with a touch of acidity, slightly dry with a long chocolatey and coffeish finish

Bottle from grocery store in Barcelona. Thin pour and minimal white head. Very roast toasty aroma. Lots of malt. Flavor is a bit sour though and maybe a bit of an artificial malty flavor in the finish. Very thin for a stout but not bad for a spanish beer.

Bottled. A murky brown beer with a dark brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as light notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, slightly burnt, leading to a herbal finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

A Sim rate: bottle from Glaciar just off La Ramblas in Barca. It’s not bad. I say that as I expected the worst. One of my fave styles but not the best attempt. Roasty malt. Sweet toffee aroma. Sour notes. Doughy. Flavour is bitter and malty. Nice. I quite enjoyed it.

On tap at Bruxellensis 2008. Black with a big, creamy and lacing tan head. Roasted malts, coffee and chocolate nose. Good roasted flavours throughout, dry. Relatively light-bodied, making me think more of a mild. So there is hope for Spain.

Hazy brown with tiny beige head. Aroma has mild chocolate and coffee notes. Somewhat sweet flavour with caramel, roasted malt and dark fruits.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Almost black with a reddish hue and a dense, light brown head. Burned malts in the aroma. Medium-bodied with hard roasted malts, coffee and a light underlying acidity probably stemming from the malts. Burned bitterness in the finish. 200608

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a lacing brown head. Mild roasted malt aroma. Flavour is hardroasted with a nice acidity arising. Goes slight dry towards the finish too. Mild creamy carbonated mouthfeel. Ends with a nice roasted malt acidity.

Bottle. [After party @ Papsoe, thanks buddy] Large brown like creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Muddy dark mahogany color. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, light fruity notes. Mild smoke over the palate. Light bodied with a soft carbonation. Light bitter and sweet flavor. Light roasted malty finish. 6 / 3 / 6 / 3 / 14

Cloudy dark color; creamy head. It has a mild aroma of roasted malt and yeast. It has a pleasant coffee flavor, but the weak body and the extreme dryness don’t play positively for it.
