UPDATED: JAN 29, 2020 Bottle from SimonTomlinson via the RB EU 2019-3 trade. Black with a frothy to creamy beige head. Aroma full of roasted grains, dark chocolate and coffee. Taste bittersweet with the the roasted bitterness taking over the finish. Medium bodied, mild carbonation. Robust and flavorful. Quite traditional in style and well done.

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2020 Dark brown with ruby edges. Large dark brown head with high retention. Aroma intensity 4/5. Toast, coffee, butter and metal aroma, notes of earth. Heavy bitter, gentle light sweet. Oily texture. Full body

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2019 Bottle. Solid dark brown/blackish pour. Light mocha head. Buttery sugar, very light hint of roastiness, an odd finish and aroma (burnt grain?). Creamy, which makes it nicely drinkable, but seems to mute the flavours. Easy drinking high alc stout, but I found the character to this one rather odd.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2019 Bottle at Hopa, huge thanks to the BPBW crew for this. I only took numerical notes while having this one.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2019 This is should be the standard of a export stout: dry, roasted malts, coffee, bitter and dark. Very nice beer!

UPDATED: DEC 1, 2019 W aromacie kawa, gorzka czekolada, nuty palone. Barwa czarna, piękna beżowa piana. W smaku pełne, gęste, kawowe. Goryczka średnia, palona. Do bólu klasyczny stout, fajny.

UPDATED: NOV 5, 2019 Pours inky black, medium silky head and light carbonation. Rich roasted malt aroma’s, molasses, anise, coffee and chocolate. Tastes velvety smooth with light bitterness and a big kick. A great stout.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2019 330ml bottle from Hop Burns and Black. Pours black with a creamy medium-sized light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, cigar smoke, vanilla. Taste is light sweet, dark chocolate, toasted malt, a little smokey. Moderate bitter finish.

UPDATED: SEP 5, 2019 Tap at Fermentoren, Copenhagen, Denmark. Pours black with brown foam, very fine. Aroma is coffee but most of all intense chocolate. A little vanilla. Body is average, with limited carbonation. Taste has a nice roasty bitterness. Finish is average with some more roastiness.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2019 This bottle is coming from one beer shop from Zurich. Trying and drinking with a big pleasure this bottle, at home, in Epalinges. One of the best stout that I have drunk in my life, a great experience of aromas. Pouring it and giving one powerful black color, creamy white and brown foam, normal carbonation for the style. This one is almost an imperial stout, powerful roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, plum, subtle and well balanced, hop, a love story.
