The aroma is sweet and malty with roasted notes. The color is black and it has a light brown though disappearing head. The flavor is sweet and malty with strong notes of chocolate and roasted malt. A good beer, but not as good as I thought on the basis of Michael Jacksons recommendation.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very dark brown with a reddish hue. Beautiful, creamy, light brown head that leaves a neat lacework. Roasted, lightly burned aroma. Solid body with roasted coffee notes. Dry, lightly bitter finish. A very good stout. 221005

CBF07 sample from bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a lacing brown head. Aroma is dark liqourice and chocolate. Body is slight thin for this kind of aroma and colour. Flavour is first roasted malt followed by a good liquorice note going into the finish.

Bottle. Black and thick, big light brown head (hm, that came out a bit dodgy). Full, sweet flavour, some coffee. Salty liquorice aftertaste. Thick syrupy mouthfeel.
