Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s pitch black with a creamy, nougat brown head. The aroma has notes of dark fruits, roasted malt, licorice, earth, wood and hints of basement. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of licorice, chocolate, wood, dark fruits and it gets almost vinous towards the end, where it also gets roasted bitter. It’s a nice and powerful stout.

Pours black as night with an ok brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla and toffee. Roast coffee like flavor...slightly bitter. Medium full body and creamy. Highly drinkable...good brew for sure.

Bottled@Fonefan. Pitch black colour, big beigeish brown head. Aroma is licorice, alcohol, mild roastiness as well as some vanilla and cocoa. Flavour is licorice, alcohol, vanilla, dark dry fruits as well as some mild wooden and cocoalike notes. Strongflavoured, yet balanced imperial stout. Warms your guts, as well as all other intestines on the way down to the stomach.

Courtesy Beerlando. Black pour, nice dark khaki head. Slightly sweet aroma, light roast component, licorice, some background powdered cocoa. Nice heavy roast component, nutty finish, the alcohol is very well hidden. Very nice.
