Sampled from tap at BPBW 2018. Pitch black with a beige head. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty aroma of praline, mocca and licorice. Quite sweet, malty, moderately roasty and a little spicy taste of praline, mocca, licorice, some cinnamon and a touch of peppers, followed by a medium long, rather roasty-bitter, earthy, slightly hot finish. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice!

At Merton Winter Beer Festival 2018. Black beer lasting tan head. Some chocolate. Liquorice oily molasses. It's alright. Not my thing. A bit oily liquorice for me. Some Harsh carbonation. Some heat on finish. Not my thing. Too hot on finish. Chilli heat.

Draught at Ølbaren, Cph. Pitch black with a thin tanned head. Sweet spiced aroma with caramel malts, chilli, chocolate, vanilla and toasted notes. Taste is sweet. Full body with an oliy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes lasting sweet and spiced with a subtle pleasant kick from the spices. Nice Stout.

330ml bottle. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, roast malts, chilli. Taste is sweet and chocolatey, vanilla, light roasted malts and then the chilli hits, but it's a nice gentle spicy heat, and suits the ABV which is extremely well hidden for 11%. Medium-full bodied, thick creamy smooth mouthfeel, average carbonation. I don't generally like chilli in my beers but I enjoyed this one, really well executed.
