3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/2022. Thanks, Aspidites! Pours deep grainy opaque black with a thick tan moussy head. Nose seems almost vacant at first, and really is fairly slight, but has some things to recommend it--a little bit of roast and toast. Super bold attack: big body, lots of flavors, decent carb. Roast and chocolate and sharp notes of grain husk and biscuit. Lovely piney hop notes on the finish. Beautifully done.

Bottle shared with Edu. Black colour with a light biege head, with medium duration and good lacing. Aroma is toasted malts with notes of black coffee. Flavor has smoked wood notes, licorice, black coffee, alcoholic, and black chocolate. The final is alcoholic with a good duration very good compensated with a decent bitterness.

UPDATED: JUN 1, 2013 dark brown colour, huge long lasting brown head; aroma of roasted coffee, dried dark berries, some smoke and dark chocolate; taste of heavy roasted malts...and it is, in fact too dominant to feel anything else (maybe some smoked taste can be felt); I accept its greatness, but a bit ’too much’ for me

On tap on brewery. Poured a dark brownish black with a small brown head. Aromas of dark fruit, spice and honey.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
One of my all time solid favorites. Thick stout base heavy on roasted malts, without a hint of astringency. The barrel-aging infuse a certain sweetness to the brew that blends perfectly with the malt flavor. Smooth sipping. Big at 10%, but hides its ABV very well.

Pours dark brown, almost black, with two fingers of thick tan head. Smells of oak and coffee. Tastes of oak, coffee, roasted malts, and alcohol. It is a thick beer that coats the tongue nicely. Absolutely delicious.
