Commercial Description:
This thick, rich ale was brewed with plenty of caramel and roasted malts, and subtly spiced with American Chinook and Willamette hops. It boasts flavors of chocolate and coffee, along with raisins and dried fruit soaked in sherry. We’ve accentuated the natural smoikness of the brew by adding a small amount of beechwood-smoked malt and aging the brew in an oak whiskey barrel, which also adds notes of oak and vanilla.

A bittersweet chocolate aroma. Great blck color, tan head. A sweet, easy to drink stout that is quite tasty. Mostly it comes off like a regular stout with just a small bite in the finish. Relatively low in alcohol for the style, but certainly a worthy beer.

Bottle, courtesy Retorp. Pours a very dark brown, with a big fluffy tan head, creamy wet lacing. Nose is of roasted malt, dry caramel and chocolate, molasses and brown sugar. Flavor is very smooth, with roasted malt, dry cocoa, caramel, chocolate and coffee. Smooth, burnt but easy and smooth, dry palatable and delicious. The ABV provides a very interesting twist on the style. Enjoyed it.

Bottled - Chris O shindig 2007 - A black coloured stout. The aroma is hoppy and smoky with great fruits and malts. The taste has a long sticky soy sauce finish together with the fruits and malts. A really tasty great beer seriously underrated here IMO.

Sampled from 1 litre bottle and shared by Ughsmash. Pours an opaque dark brown (almost black) brew with a creamy tan head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of toasted dark malt, dark chocolate, a hint of soy sauce, smoked wood and some coffee. Taste is full bodied, with flavors of toasted dark malt, some smoked wood, oak, vanilla, a hint of dark chocolate and coffee. Finish is semi-sweet the a very faint bitterness but more dark malt aftertaste during and after the finish. Two years of aging has done this very good. Most excellent.

Bottle Courtesy of retorp. Pours a tell-tale deep black with a nice tan head. Nose is coffee, licorice, chocolate, malt, and a whiskey sweetness. Flavor is mellow chocolate, slight coffee bitterness, and some licorice. Finish lingers with coffee and dark chocolate.

Bottle. Poured a jet black color with a creamy tan head. Left some lacing on the side of the glass as it went. Aroma was dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, and toffee. Flavor was rich and creamy. Some burnt chocolate, coffee, and roasted flavors coming through. Some bitters in the aftertaste. Medium body, some carbonation. A very rich and complex beer. Very very good.
