Pours an opaque very dark brown colour with a moderate light brown head that amounts to a thick ring around the glass. Aroma is roasted malts, toffee, deep toast, mild coffee, and moderate chocolate. Flavour consists of roasted malts just short of being burnt, dried dark fruit, moderate sweet malt, coffee, a slight bit of warming alcohol, and a malty dry finish. Fantastic depiction of the style.

Pours an opaque brown with a decent sized frothy tan head. Aroma of rich roasted malts, toffee, nuts with some light fruity esthers. Taste is sweet malts that transform quickly into roasted malts, coffee, some dark dried fruits and an ever so slight alcohol warming on the finish. Overall this is a very full bodied beer but with the moderate carbonation it doesn’t bring out the high abv and makes this beer really easy to drink. Best of the beer god series to date!

Thanks to reimer for this. Pours an inky black with a moderate dark brown top. Aroma is bitter chocolate and toasted malts. Taste a nice dark chocolate with tiasted malts and a slight coffee. Easy drinking very enjoyable.

In short: A roasted fruity chocolaty stout. Good beer.
How: Bottle 12oz, consumed one month after receiving it in a trade but I think it was only brewed once and therefore may have been almost one year of age. Bottle from Savvy1982, thanks a lot Kyle.
The look: Black body topped by a medium tan head with medium retention.
In long: Nose is inviting chocolate-coffee ice-cream. Taste builds on the above (milky chocolate and some coffee) and adds succulent fudge, medium-high roast level, quite a bit of burnt fruity flavor (like a burnt berries strudel), dried tree leafs, tobacco. 10% very well hidden. Full body and acceptable mouthfeel but this beer would have benefited from softer bubbles. There are a lot of sweet flavors in this beer yet the whole things doesn’t really feel all that sweet. A pretty decent beer from Saskatchewan, a region better known as the world’s largest reserve of curling clubs.

341ml bottle. Black with a creamy mocha head that dissipates slowly. At first metallic but as it warms up it opens up and mostly disappears. Roasted malts, slightly overripe fruit, alcohol, chocolate, hint of anise and some tannins with alcohol. Moderate body and carbonation, smooth with some alcohol spikes, initial bitterness, then a nice malt sweetness with more overripe fruit. This was an interesting beer - it had flaws but also some interesting characteristics, wouldn’t mind trying one in another year or so.

pitch black, dark fruit, brown sugar, molasses, dark chocolate, very rich. Some what dry a touch of hazelnuts. Treacles. Every sip offers a new flavor. A bit of espresso and caramel. Superb

Not really the style. Dark coloured with a bubbly head, barrel aged characteristics such as coconut.Lots of turbo sugar, brown sugar. Decent drinkability and taste, overall.

Bouteille de 341ml partagée par Patrick. Merci. Bière noire, très foncée, elle est noire, avec une mousse brune au sommet. Le nez est composé d’arômes de lait au chocolat, de tabac à pipe frais, bien humide, il y a en sous-couche des fruits de la levure. La bouche est ronde, fruitée, le chocolat est bien présent. Les malts grillés apportent une certaine acidité. Les houblons apportent une certaine amertume en fin de bouche.

Une bouteille via un échange avec dresden. Thanks Steve! Un liquide à la limite d’être noir. Un anneau de mousse qui se forme et qui flotte pour un moment. Au nez, une fusion plus qu’intéressante entre des notes lourdement rôties et des notes doucement chocolatées. Aussi, des parfums de tabac à pipe qui montent à mes narines et qui apportent une réelle complexité. Sur les papilles, des flaveurs de chocolat au lait qui se fondent à travers des grains torréfiés encore fumants. Toujours cette agréable présence de feuilles épicées: le brasseur est-il un amateur d’Amphora®? Une bouche qui n’est pas des plus costaudes. Des bulles bien présentes et une texture crémeuse: nous sommes ici dans l’extrême buvabilité. Une finale épargnée par l’éternelle amertume des grains rôtis au profit de notes chocolatées doucement piquée par une amertumee de houblons feuillus. Tout compte fait, une très belle façon de stimuler le centre du plaisir.
