Bottle @ Kiss The Kitchen Floor or better known as ZZT VI (2013): kindly shared by dEnk: Smaller sized brown head which changes into some brown bubbles on the side, on top of black ish colored beer with a brown edge. The aroma has lots of corn, some carbo gass, some roasted malts and a hint of bay leaf/liquorice. The flavour has a clean roast, again some liquorice and bay leaf notes, hint of hops, caramelised malts, bitter, cacoa and some chocolate. Aftertaste is bitter with liquorice, darker herbs and a hint of chocolate. Low carbo, soft light creamy mouthfeel, medium to fuller body and a creamy texture. What a surprise, quite a nice beer.

On tap at Ulysses. Dark pour, frothy brown head. Cocoa and nuts abound. Very little sweetness, but quite tasty. Dry and chalky mouthfeel.

Hueless darkest brown, foamy deep mocha head fades fast. Burnt dark roasted sweet caramel malts dominate the aroma and taste. Low bitterness, black licorice, dark chocolate, coffee and molasses. Average carbonation, medium-full bodied, low hopped. Too sweet. NFL (Not For Lagerboys)

Zzt bottle. Appearance of a robust stout, nice brown head. Solid burnt malty flavours. Quite a full bodied taste too, chocolate malty flavours. Seems higher in alcohol than 5%

Bottle thx to dEnk @ ZZT VI. Pitch black colour with small brown head. Smells roasty, dark chocolate, lots of coffee. Tastes coffee, roasty, some chocolate, crust of brown bread. Thin to medium body, fizzy carbo.

Draft at Beer Temple. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, coffee. Flavour is light moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Really excellent for the low ABV.
