4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
.25l bottle.
Been kept in closet almost 2 years now.
Pours black with low tan head. Vanish quickly. Aroma is roasted malts, sweetish, liquorice, coffee, alcohol, balsamico. Flavor is long lasting. Coffee, sweet brown sugar, liquorice, dark fruits, chocolate. Very enjoyable beer as a dessert. Swell!

Prunes, raisins bleus, soya, chocolat et alcool en arôme. En bouche le corps est superbe, onctueux mais les saveurs difficiles, pas très raffinés mais après quelques minutes les contrastes s’amenuisent. Trop sucré et aucune trace de café après 2 ans. Appréciable sans plus.

2 year old bottle. It’s a really thick, luxurious impy, with a inscrutable sweet tooth. The molasses candy sweetness is the only detractor from a lovely, rich coffee and chocolate infused treat, which hides 16% pretty well, all things considered. A real sticky, sweet dessert beer - I think you could pour this over ice cream in lieu of syrup without any complaints.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tasted with friends on my birthday. Also, rating #200! Incredibly sweet. Incredibly complex flavor and aroma. Fruity, coffee, roasted malt, coconut, pistachio nuts, licorice, port wine-like, overripe fruit, prunes, leather. Noticeable alcohol, but it’s well integrated. Very full body. Very little carbonation. Long long sticky aftertaste. Too sweet, but wow.

If you have a bottle of this give it at least 2 or 3 more years, maybe more. It is very sweet. It needs more time to mellow imo. It had the nice makings for a good stout, just very sweet, Overall it was drinkable.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle @ home. Very dark brown with a small fading light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, burnt caramel, brown sugar, chocolate. Flavor very sweet with roasted malts, burnt caramel, brown sugar, licorice, and a strong notes of alcohol. Thin body, soft carbonation, strong alcohol burn. Disappointing to say at least. 011212
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
This is certainly a syrup bomb. Viscous brew style going on here. Way too heavy on that viscuous sweet side. Pours black, no head and no lacing. Too sweet like too many spoons of maple syrup. Lacks balance. On tap at Blue Monk.
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
Numerous bottles and tap. To me, this is awful. Taste of artificial sweetener and vegetables roasted in syrup. Should never have been made available for sale.

8.5oz. bottle to snifter. Pours oily brown black with a wispy film and soapy khaki head that fades. Aroma is very sweet with dark fruit of plum fig and warming booze. Taste is again very sweet with subtle bitterness and chocolate dark fruit and long lingering booze and coffee flavors. Palate is full and sticky with a syrupy dry warming finish. This is super sweet and warming, but enjoyable in small doses. Good thing my wife is here to help out!
