Jan 3, 2009 50 cl bottle, shared by acrdz. Pours a cloudy brown body with a small wispy beige head. The nose is roasty with a little hint of smoke and burnt malt, some yeast, and a light note of alcohol. The flavor is roasty and burnt malt with a bit of an over-roasted acridness that didn’t work too well in the middle, but the finish was slightly smoky with a long lingering bitterness laced with yeast. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slightly oily texture and soft carbonation. Pretty nice overall, but a little heavy on the burnt malt to be great for me.

Dec 29, 2008 Bottled Completely black with a lovely frothy tan coloured head. The aroma has some sour fruit skins. A roasty stout with a rich long finish, with hints of coffee. Very bitter, probably too much so. Some ashy malts.

Dec 4, 2008 0.33 l bottle. Black color with creamy tan head. Sweetish aroma with flowery and lemony hops. Bittersweet flavor with salty licorice and strong lemony hop flavor. Charcoal, coffee and bitterness in the finish. Good stout but lemony hops are too upfront.
