UPDATED: APR 10, 2021 (Bottle) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black coffee, dark chocolate, black rye bread, prunes, liquorice, treacle and a touch of tamarind. Malty, roasted taste with coffee, liquorice, black rye bread, prunes, black pepper, soy sauce, a touch of shellfish or oyster shells, anise, hints of smoke and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Quite complex and really tasty, with a mild oyster touch coming through. Very nice.

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2021 Bottle. Pretty much black with a large light tan head. Aroma of mocha, smoke, seaweed, caramel, orange peel. Full, creamy texture. Sweetish but not as sweet as suggested by the aroma - partly that's much heavier roast, partly some bitterness and a nice jolt of pepper at the end. Not obviously oysters, although it's a bit briny: comes across more as seaweed/ iodine. Clearly strong but there's no overt alcohol. In the last 18 months I've stopped thinking of Garage Project as good but over-hyped.

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2021 Dominant roastiness on the nose, smokey and peppery. Differently aromatic. Jet black, effervescent pour with a tan fluffy head, with great retention and lacing. Beauty. Tastes as expected from its aroma, a lot of smoke and roasty. Peppery and savoury notes. Well balanced, with a moderately dry finish. Full bodied, viscous, low carbonation. Alcohol warmth evident at the back of the tongue and lingering in the after taste. Solid, tasty, pungent. Maybe not for everyone because of high roastiness and smoke.

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2019 From a 650ml bottle on 24/12/2019 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours not far from black with a small head. The nose presents strongly of oyster with some chocolate in the mix. There's a lot going on on the sip - chocolate, cocoa, fudge, soy, licorice and again lots of oyster. It's very sweet up front but finishes with a reasonably sharp, lightly spicy bitterness, with some booze in the background. The mouthfeel is a touch syrupy and the carbonation a touch fizzy. This is big, quite complex dessert sipper, which drinks every bit of its 12 per cent. Very nice stuff. And a great packaging too.

UPDATED: NOV 16, 2019 super peaty with some oak and iodine. Meaty, modestly briny, dark chocolate, stewed cabbage, low carbonation . Very rounded.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2019 Beer Deluxe Fed Sq (20-Oct-19) Smoked woody tobacco aroma. Jet black colour, good brown head and spider lacing. Biggish smoked wood vanilla flavour. Smoked vanilla finish and tobbaco smoked aftertaste.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2019 Smokey malt caramel aroma. Dark brown colour great head and lacing. Malt Smokey chocolate caramel flavour. Smooth lingering palate.

UPDATED: SEP 19, 2019 At MBCT. Garage Project Cabbage and Kings 12% Deep black with minimal head and a smooth Smokey aroma with peppery elements. Very Smokey but balanced pepper heat with ranch bacon notes and chocolate malt. Really good. Ap 4 Ar 8 t 8 p 4 o 14-5

UPDATED: SEP 14, 2019 Flaska beställd från SB. Svart med ljusbrunt skum. Hyffsad stout, inget speciellt.
