Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
A rich dark ale, dominated by the strong flavours of blended roast malts that are the foundation of this beer. Smooth coffee and chocolate undertones are complemented by the addition of late harvest cone hops, giving a lovely blackcurrant aroma.

500 ml.Blackish-brown color, creamy tan head. Roasted malt and coffee aroma. More of the same in the flavor, dry finish. Medium-light body, medium carbonation. Not bad for the ABV.

500ml bottle (K Market)
Black, small beige head. Sweet oaty aroma, a bit flapjacky. Roasty cakey first taste, gets burnt on swallowing. Lovely tingly hops. Pleasant roasty biscuitty finish, but alas not long. Delicious when not cold.

0.5 l bottle. Almost black color with small creamy peige head. Dark bread, chocolate, coffee and leather in the aroma with some earthy and acrid notes. Soft dry roasty flavor with chocolate, charcoal, black currant, dark rye bread and salty licorice. Light soft body with soft carbonation. Fairly good and rich stout for 4.2 abv but I dont like the earthy-blackcurranty note.

Bottled. Quite black, thick beige head that disappears quickly. Aroma of roasted nuts and grains, taste very smokey, charcoal might be a good description. I like it although it’s not too complex.
