Bliss, black and beautiful. Hefty aroma of roasted malts, hops, smoke, chocolate and cocoa makes way to a balanced creamy, almost oily palate. Finally the taste is so harmonic, being both sweet with notes liquorice, cocoa, dried fruits and chocolate and at the same time bitter like coffee and american hops.

Very balanced with sweetness to the roasted malts - lots of chocolate. Hops are good

Mar 26, 2008 Bottle Deep, black body. Lightly brown, small head. Aroma of malts (coffee, chocolate), molasses, hints of liquor, ... Quite nice aroma, not to 1 dimensional for a stout. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Heavily bitter finish, quite hoppy. Strange the aroma isn’t hoppy, but the finish is full of hops (Cascade, German hops). Off course there are also a lot of malts in the flavour. Anyway I would say this is a Stouty IPA. The balance is not totally ok and complexity lacks a bit, but still it is quite ok.

Jan 21, 2008 Bottle. What a beauty to look at. It pours oily and black, with a dense, tan head that’s lasting. I prefer my girls quite pale, but my stouts should be as black as this one, yummy! The aroma is slightly dusty, but mostly roasted and burnt with a nice touch of licorice and chocolate. Some hops in there too. Lovely sweet, yet roasted and dry flavor with licorice, some tar, bitterness, a little coffee, and I think there’s some dried fruits as well. Oily in the mouth, maybe a bit thin, but then it’s only 6% ABV. BTW, it’s not thin, only not as thick and chewy as I expected. It finishes with a lasting, coffee-bitter flavor. Gimme more! (071123)
