Opaque black - brown beer, tidy tan head. Nose of minerally dark malt with a little bubblegum. Palate is smooth and slightly dry. Smooth darkj malt, whisper of coffee. Some spicy bubblegum, a bit too much so. Mild minerals. Semi dry finish. Okay.

Bottle from Debucas. Pours out jet black with a big frothy tan head. Lightly smoky and malty aromas. Flavor is super smooth. Lots of layers of sweet licorice malts, herbs and smoke. Expertly balanced. Lingering smoky sweetness.

Medium brown head. Opaque black body. Earthy roasty chocolatey aroma with toffee notes. Sweet alcoholic chocolate taste with licorice and toffee notes. Full-bodied. Mild, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish cocoa, licorice, and toffee aftertaste with roasty alcoholic notes. Spicy herbal lavender, too. Lovely. Very harmonic and drinkable. (0.65l bottle, shared by gr0ve.)

22oz bottled october 2011, consumed april 2012. Received this bottle as a groomsman gift from my soon to be brother in law. I was pretty stoked to try this, but decided to cellar it a bit, then forgot about it so it cellared probably 6 months longer than I intended. aroma is sweet with maybe a hint of smoke. I spy a hint of ruby in the darkness of this stout.. taste is sweet and smokey. I love how any roast/coffee notes have fallen off almost completely. it tastes like a black beer with out tasting like coffee. palate is slick and smooth. I think the palate matches up to the complexity of the beers other elements nonetheless. overall an excellent stout, its a bit weird but very enjoyable. I wish i had it fresher, so i could compare to this cellared version.

Bottle 650 ml from erzbierschof.ch. In its classic ebony dress, it’s a creamy Stout, a little smoked, torrefied with aromas of bitter chocolate, mocha, licorice, dark fruits and notes of dry fruits, yeast, spices and herbs. Already trend to Abt. A taste full and strong, not too sweet. Earthy flavors, smoked and dry torrefied dragging shall end a moment full of taste

Good malt body, with a fine sweetness and a predominant licorice flavor. Some dark fruits too, and hint of ash. Light, sparkling mouthfeel. Finishes dry. A complex and balanced beer. Good, indeed.
