Bottle: Literally black, small lacy tanned head, sweet (port-)vinous nose with smoked and toasted malt underneath; solid sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied; full sweet "woody" and "smoky" finish, well balanced by caramel and bitter molasses. Superb stuff......

Bottled. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has strong notes of alcohol and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of roasted malt, alcohol, and a bit of brett, leading to a dry and lightly tart finish. Thanks CaptainCougar for coming to Denmark and sharing this.

Black with a large deep beige head. Sweet aroma with hard roasted malt, dark chocolate and brett notes. Sour flavour with brett, hints of roasted malt and a dry finish. Finished sourish as well. Not bad.

33 cL bottle, courtesy of CaptainCougar. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and solid brett-ish with a smooth chocolate and roasted malt. Nicely roasted and with a smooth fruity brett note. Dry and smooth into the far finish. Nice one.

Overall it was ok. Lighter in the mouth than expected for a stout. Nice flavoring of coffee, chocolate, dark malt with a good hop finish. slight metallic taste. Very drinkable, not as heavy as most beers this dark

Bottle: Pours a dark brownish black, with a thin tan head. Minor lacing around the rim. Smells like coffee, vanilla, and dark malts. Tastes of the same, but with more alcohol which eventually creeps up on you. Not a bad brew.
