The aroma is chocolate, coffee, caramel, and very well toasted malt. The appearance is black with a medium head. The flavor is like toasted bread and chocolate. You can also describe this stout as sweet, bitter, and just a little salty. The palate is just about right but the aftertaste is somewhat acidic. Overall it’s not great but it’s pretty good.

Bottle. Black pour. Very clear and opaque. Malty taste but a bit watery. Almost a creamy texture. Very smooth finish.

(Big thanks to Papsoe.) 50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Black colour 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, but nice.

A bit thin, mild taste of coffee and toasty malts. Watery yet a little oily in its texture

Off-white film lasts a while atop the deep clear brown pour. Powdery chocolate notes climb through the heavily carbonated form underneath. Slightly woody light and malty flavours. Tartish toasted pumpernickel undertones boasts some originality in a good way all the while mineral and metallic character develops in a not so competent manner between roasted interludes. Very light palate, moderate carbonation. Average.

500mL bottle. Pours black with some faint dark brown hints and a small, mostly diminishing tan rocky head that soon becomes a film with some lined lacing. Dark sweet roasted caramel and chocolate malt (meal, cookie) and oat aroma. Sour and oily yeast (sweat, horse blanket) flavor, dark and slighltly bitter dark chocolate notes and a light hop acidity. Dark bodied and oily, thin palate.

Deep dark brown body, with small tan head. Aromas of burnt malt and hints of chocolate. The flavor is dry roasted malts, coffee, chocolate. Very Good

Pours a deep black color with a ring of light brown lace. Aroma and flavor of vanilla and coffee. The body is light with a creamy texture and low carbonation. I thought this would be way better, oh well...
