UPDATED: MAR 31, 2024 Schwarze Farbe mit beiger Schaumkrone. Malziger, röstmalziger Geruch mit Karamell. Geschmacklich malzig, röstmalzig mit Schokolade und Karamell. Hohe Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2023 330ml bottle. Black with a foamy tan head. Flavors are dark chocolate, coffee, caramel and licorice with fruity notes. Medium to full body, moderate carbonation, smooth texture.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2023 A small bottle drunk at Dad's place while home on leave. Purchased online courtesy of Ceylon Supermart, thank you very much. Aroma: roasted malt, chocolate digestive biscuits. Appearance: cola, tan lacing. Palate: medium-bodied and oily, average carbonation; malty, rather sweet finish. Taste: lightly-bitter with sweet notes, quite well-balanced; coffee, biscuit. Alcohol is unobtrusive, pleasantly warming - pretty good stuff.

UPDATED: MAY 5, 2023 Can (best by 9/24--looks like born 8/25/22) pour from Total Wine & More, Burlington. It's an opaque dark cola brown--virtually black--with no sparkle, light viscosity, finger-width beige head quickly fading to a ring and no lacing. Aroma is a strong earthy roasted malt with chocolate and hint of anise and coffee. Taste mirrors aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, decent complexity and nice balance. A pleasant surprise!

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2023 Nice bittersweet, coffee taste, unfortunately big bottle for the outside temperature to keep it cold enough 😉. Love the colour of this beer.

UPDATED: DEC 15, 2022 330ml bottle into pint glass. From Beer Cartel. Very very dark brown beer with a thin beige head. Nose is sweet milk chocolate. Slight fizz, lots of coffee in the finish. Some lingering sweet fruit residue. High alcohol stout, nothing special.

UPDATED: MAR 24, 2022 From the Bottle at Imperial Club & Brewery, Mexborough 08/12/2012 Big fruit and roast aromas. Small beige head. Dark coloured a little rich on the palate and strong in alcohol. Fruity and hoppy with a dry lasting coffee roast finish. ABV 7.5%

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2022 Chocolate-coffee with light fruitiness, roasty notes, not badly hopped, clean and smooth, good balance. But alcohol is felt and quickly gives to the head)) Now, this is certainly not top, but the beer is not badly brewed.
