larsga (7693) - Oslo, - JAN 29, 2012
Small dark brown head. Dark red barely translucent body with carbonation. Deep dark chocolate aroma with earthy perfumy fruity notes. Dry-sweet chocolate and fruit taste with almond notes. Mid-bodied. Mild mouthfeel. Dry-bitter chocolate and earth aftertaste with long smoky burnt tar notes. Nice! (0.33l can shared by hcalsos.)

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2024 Pitch black with a brown head. Malty aroma. Gentle malty taste, very distant roast and a subtle bitterness. Not Bad, but could be more intense.

solidfunk (20037) - Washington D.C., Washington DC, USA - AUG 6, 2021
UPDATED: AUG 6, 2021 Roast and some dark chocolate. Easy drinking and decent enough, though lacks strong character. Bitter finish with a bit of lingering tang. Black pour with good head. Can.

3.3
Chudwick (4909) - Northern, Kentucky, USA - APR 12, 2021
UPDATED: APR 12, 2021 11.15oz bottle - 11.8 and 11.15 in one day, nuts. Nose is leather, toast, and smoke-y licorice. Sip adds dark lager qualities. Light bodied. Lots of flavor but the aftertaste is off-putting.

corkyrory66 (6663) - BELGIUM - AUG 12, 2020
UPDATED: AUG 12, 2020 Stout de 7 % abv, avec malts d'orge et de blé. Ma bouteille en verre représente un saxophoniste en doré sur fond noir. Mon exemplaire était à 34 mois après sa date. Couleur noir d'encre, à l'opacité très importante. Mousse brun moyen, soyeuse, stable à 3 mm. Arômes de beau café, malt torréfié, ganache, pointe de whisky japonais. 1ère bouche veloutée, à l'ensemble superbe malt/houblon/café. Arrière-bouche avec de grandes nuances torréfiées, pointe de tabac brun. 2ème bouche avec des nuances de grains pressés avec une liqueur de café. Arrière-bouche longue, ample, avec une grande prégnance. Longueur avec de très grandes nuances de café et grains torréfiés. Jambes huileuses, longues. Levure douce, fine, belle ligne. Alcool très bien, il a pris du galon avec l'âge et soutient l'ensemble comme un vieux samouraï, qui connaît toutes les techniques. Finale légèrement liquoreuse, superbe. CONCLUSION : très grand stout au pays du soleil levant, dont le saxo donne toute l'ampleur sur l'étiquette. (9/5/9/5/19) (music pairing : le morceau Félenko Yéfé, de Momo Wandel Soumah, sur l'album Afro swing, s'impose de lui-même par son utilisation supérieure du saxo … mais j'ai surtout un grand faible pour sa voix impressionnante … de vieux samouraï ...)

3.4
mcberko (41923) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUN 4, 2020
UPDATED: JUN 4, 2020 330mL bottle, pours black with a large beige head. Nose is full of lactose-like sweetness, moderate roast, and a touch of cocoa. Flavour is moderately sweet, with medium roast, gentle earthy cocoa, and lactose-like sweetness. Clean and balanced, though unexceptional. Solid stout.
