This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized brown colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a opaque no visible carbonation dark black brown colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was malty brown malt roasted malt and toasted malt. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of roasted malt and dark malt. An OK brew just nothing special.

Bottle. Poured a medium sized tan head that mostly diminished, poor lacing, no visible carbonation, opaque, and a black hue. Nose was malty, coffee, roasty, and a little smokey. Flavor was coffee, malt, roasty, somewhat burnt tasting, thin, a little smokey, and a little bit of chocolate. Mouthfeel was slightly tingly and thin for this style. Light-medium body. Thin texture for this style and. There are better of this style out there IMO.

Bottle. Black color with a nice creamy head. Aroma of coffee and roasted malt. Mild but great flavour with a lot of roasted taste, ends up a little bitter.

Mildly astringent nose with very roasted and nutty aromas. Slight peat and earth on the palate with a drying husky finish.

Black color with a nice creamy, dark tan head. Nice roasty chocolate aroma. Very smooth with only a touch of bitterness in the finish. A very nice session stout. At 4% I would be happy to drink this all night. I doubt I will ever see it on cask, so I can only wonder at how good it would be.

Bought it for the bottle alone; wasn’t disappointed with the overall experience. Has a little bit of a watered-down coffee taste. Not one of my favorites, but I would drink it again.

Looks pretty good - dark black but with a filtered gleam. Sharp liqueury chocolate smell and a dry roasted flavour that is quite smooth. Quite slick in the mouth, with a fairly long lasting taste - a bit surprising given it’s only 4% abv. Quite enjoyable - slides down easily indeed. (Thanks to highlandlad)

Pitch black! Black currant notes in the aroma along with roasted malts. Acidic coffee flavor. But not much flavor really. Very watery and dry! Doesn’t do it for me.
