3.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
It has a very strong coffee aroma, very nice look. At first impresion taste more like a porter, very good bitter palate. It takes more than 10 minutes to pour, order another one while you are waiting!
3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught @ OMB. Finally perfect served this time at a moderate temperature and almost two minutes work. Body is black with a big, dense beige N2 head. Aroma was deceptive week, but nice. Slightly roasted malt, dry fruit, some coffee and chocolate. Flavor is exactly as promised from the aroma, roasted malt, fruity, coffee, dry fruit and a balanced long bitter finish. Very nice, but my overall impression was a bit disappointed. This stout isn’t exactly what I would call an Imperial stout, the body is to light. This is closer to ordinary Irish Stout IMO.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Mocha aroma. Black color that passes the light bulb test with a thick light brown head. Nice roast coffee flavor. It’s a little bit thinner than I expected, but that might just be me. The aftertaste was very bitter. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nitro pour making this close to black beer covered by a thick light tan foam. Blackberries, latte coffee and chocolate cake manages to come out of the slightly metallic nose. Well roasted and rather chewy in texture: it feels bigger than it is. Well thought-out hop profile imparts soft spicy nuances (mint?) that manages to shine through the all-coffee maltiness. Finishing dry and rather bitter (from the grains).
