On tap at Galbraith’s. Pours pitch black and oily. Dark chocolate, bitter coffee, huge roastiness to the point of slightly umami smoke stuff, charred chilli, prickly heat. Perfect full thick oily body with the heat popping through. A real treat.

330ml bottle from Hippo. Thick, dark, black with a foamy tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, a hint of spice. Flavour is cocoa, coffee, milky sweet with a big chilli kick to finish. Totally lived up to expectation

Bouteille 33cl, BB 20/18/201, batch# 345. Brune foncée, col café au lait, doré au verre. Arôme met bien en avant les effluves de cannelle, rétro alternant sur les malts caramel, chocolaté avec un rétro-nasal de poivré assez plaisant sans être trop surfait. Palais est réchauffant, finement épicée avec une bonne balance, cannelle ajoute aussi un effet d’épice, le tout se prête bien avec le chocolat et la vanille qui confère une petite douceur de fin de bouche.

Bottle, 11%. Sort of pickled veg aroma. Black colour. Very small light brown head. Distinct cocoa and vanilla flavour. Not as sweet as feared. Chocolate powder notes. Good chili level. Oily mouthfeel. Fairly well-balanced.

Bottle. Pours cloudy nearly black with airy dark tan head. Clear aroma of malt, coffee and lactose, with hints of chilli and touches of chocolate. Roasty and sweetish flavour of chocolate and caramel malt, with notes of roast and vanilla and nice, non-aggressive touches of chilli. Hints of yeast. Spicy and roasty aftertaste with hints of yeast. Well-balanced and good.

Tap@Taphouse 3rd Year Anniversary Week, Copenhagen - black coloured pour with a brown head. Sweet and and medium roasted malty aroma and taste, with strong chocolate prominence, some caramel, fudge, with some nice vanilla and spices coalescing into the finish. Lovely.
