Pours a deep black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of dark fruit and coffee. Flavors are a combination of dark chocolate and roasted coffee with a dark fruit backgound. Nice lingering finish on the palate.

Aug 20, 2008 Pour is dark with a small but dark tan head. Aroma is of darkly roasted malt and chocolate. Flavor is burnt with light bitterness and maltiness. Has a very creamy mouthfeel which finishes nicely with cocoa. Blended fairly well. Good brew.

Aug 20, 2008 Black with bubbly off-white ring for a head. Nose is a nice combination of tobacco, coffee, and chocolate with a little bit of sweet dried fruit in there. Sweet flavor of coffee, smoke, chocolate, and sugary fruit. Smooth medium body that is slightly thin. Good stout, if perhaps a little standard.

Aug 20, 2008 black, light tan ring. vibrant tart and roasty nose with notes of strong black coffee, chocolate, and charred fruit. very roasty and charred flavors but with slightly distracting vegital notes...also, chocolately overtones and some lactic tang. smooth mouthfeel...really quite roasty, really.

Aug 8, 2008 Black in colour with ruby edges, long lasting creamy tan coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is very roasty, some chocolate, good sweetness, light alcohol and some espresso. The flavour is roasty, burnt, sweet, dark chocolate, coffee and light alcohol. Sweet roasty mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, malty and sweet.
This is quite nice, lots of roast but I’m not sure that it has the body to last another three years.
330ml bottle obtained in a trade with Engelsmann back in November 2005, thanks Martin.
Opened on March 2, 2008.
Best before January 2011.
