Excellent Stout. This is not Guiness. It should be classifed as an Imperial stout with all that alcohol. So many flavors you won’t be able to drink just 1.

This is a fantastic beer. Very creamy texture. The high alcohol content is not noticed in the taste. The flavor is of chocolate and mocha.

Bottle. Black beer with dark beige head. Bitter dark burnt malts. Intense. Really nice, velvety with good burnt malt finish. Toasty, smokey, charcoal. Really rather nice.

Dark small foam. Excellent color deep dark black. Dry, Sweet stout with a chocolate roasty taste. Very smooth not too deep in body. Excellent stout. One of the best I have ever had!

A glorious brew. Poured from 33cl bottle into a pint glass. Dark, almost black with notes of dark ceylon tea, chocolate truffles, port, and dessert spices. The mouthfeel is creamy without being syrupy allowing for the flavors to develop into a nice savory warming finish. Yum!

11.5oz bottle, no date. Pours a deep brown with a medium, quickly fading light brown head. Aroma of dark chocolate, molasses, coffeee, dark fruits, and alcohol. I think I’m picking up some oats as well. Taste is pretty much the same with the addition of some smokiness, and the alcohol is fairly well hidden. Full bodied, though not syrupy, and light carbonation. Excellent.

Pours black with a large light brown head- excellent lacing. Aroma of molasses, spruce and sliglty burnt malt. Sweet brown sugar, spruce, resin, licorice with coffee, plum and alcohol trailing. Hints of Black Cavandish pipe tobacco and soy sauce. Creamy/oily texture and long finish.

330ml botte. Classic stout appearance. Flavor of chocolate, coffee, roasted smoky malts, vanilla, and fruit sweetness. Velvety smooth and easy to drink. Great for consuming after a meal.
