Mar 4, 2008 Pours a very dark purplish black with huge foamy beige head. Aroma of spice, chocolate malt, dark fruit, berries and figs. Very carbonated up front with lots of chocolate maltiness, followed by a smooth balance of spice and dark fruit. Lots of berry and fig. Dry sweet finish. Very complex and quit tasty!

Mar 3, 2008 No formal notes taken. Almost black in color this poured a thick head that consistently faded. Aromas were rather sweet and showed off yeast and nuts along with a backbone of chocolate. Lots of carbonation kept this feeling light on the palate.

Mar 3, 2008 ZBF 2008: Extremely dark brown with big tan head. Aromas of dark malts with sweet bread dough. Chocolate roast with an herbal twang. Tree bark and green twigs. Bitter on the tongue with roast and green bitterness (possibly herbal). Sweet pasty dough sprinkled with ground coffee. Seemed better in the past. Was there a recipe change?

Mar 3, 2008 2008 Zythos Bier Festival, Belgium.
Thick, lucious head with texture and colour of clotted cream. Massive amounts of toasted/burnt malts come through making this really bitter. Smooth and unctuous throughout.

Mar 2, 2008 Pours black with tan head. Nutty aroma with heavy yeast notes, chocolate, lactose, and some coffee. Lots of candied sugar in the flavor makes this an extremely sweet stout. Licorice, dark chocolate, dark fruits, vinous notes, and coffee also apparent. Flavor is also sour, which makes this stout extremely unique, though not altogether a great stout. On second thought, the sweet/sour and chocolate combination is actually pretty well pulled off. Extremely interesting, albeit confusing.

Feb 27, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a very large dark tan head. Interesting, sweet dark chocolate with the Belgian yeast. A lot of carbonation hits the tounge. Surprisingly easy to drink. Interesting, but not what I really look for in a stout.
