500ml bottle. Black in colour, foam tan head leaving some lacing, and an aroma of roast malt with coffee-ish notes. Taste is roast/ burnt malt, coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, and a grassy spicey hop bitterness. Body is rich, with some residual sweetness and a dry bitter finish. Quite OK.

Very dark brown colour. This has some chocolately malts and a rich, fruity background like port and dried fruits. Rich, smooth and sweet taste.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pleasant, chocolatey notes on the nose. Pours a deep dark ruby. Flavour is rich and vineous with complex fruit notes (figs and liquored raisins) and a bitter cocoa and cough syrup finish. Seasonally pleasant.

Really drinkable. Not exactly complex, but pleasant nonetheless. Also, bottle perches nicely on a candlestick held up by a cherub. I think it would be pretty skill to be a cherub.

I might devise a pre beer Haka. Celebratory, not warlike. Could be interesting in the pub though. Stout and rugby, excellent bedfellows, and chili later on. Does Belgian beer go with chili? Guess we shall find out later. Might try an IPA instead. You’re not interested in any of this are you?

Znakomity czekoladowy stout. Gożką czekoladę da się wyczuć zdecydowanie, aromaty pochodzące z chmielu Chellanger i Fuggles także wyczuwalne. Połączenie super i eleganckie na finiszu. Kolor bardzo czarny lecz z lekką przeświatą.

Bottled 17/08/12. A near black beer with a tan coloured lasting head. Coffee in the nose with a little bit of spiciness. Coffee, chocolate and grassy hops in the mouth. Nice burnt malty flavours with plenty of coffee. Pretty good, especially for Black Sheep.
