4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Shiny ebony colour. The aroma is richly roasty with light fruitiness and hints of citrusy hop, toast. Smooth as hell, with gorgeous Belgian chocolate notes, cream, vanilla sugar, Yunnan coffee. Most of the bitterness is roast it seems. Great foreign style

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 650ml (from brewery, sampled at home)
Dark opaque black color, good creamy brown head, some lace. Strong roasted malty aroma. Medium to full bodied. Roasted malty flavor with salty licorice. Peat/tar notes. Long roasted aftertaste. Well-brewed, balanced strong stout, but perhaps too dry to get really top score in my list.

(2003-04) Intensely dark brown with medium brown head. Aroma is rich coffee, bittersweet chocolate, light vinous. Taste is burnt coffee, light chocolate. Creamy body, remarkable for its fullness in light of its ABV.
