Bottle at home in London - sourced via online shop. Pours black-brown with a small, foamy beige head. Just a solid, no-nonsense stout. Nice roasted dark malt character, mostly somewhat bitter dark chocolate, a little ash and earth, charred marshmallows. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Just a little warmth in the finish, more roast, bittersweet chocolate. Actually drinks really easily.

Les arômes de café et chocolat, plaisants, sont sans nul doute les points forts de cette Basatia, d'autant plus qu'elle s'appuie sur une structure globalement bonne. J'ai tout de même eu du mal à me passionner pour celle-ci. La raison ? Je la trouve quelque peu plate, sans réel caractère. Cela provient peut-être d'information petit manque de complexité, ou d'un alcool à 8% un peu limite voire d'une présence en bouche moyenne. Cela provient peut-être d'un peu de tout cela en fait. Elle en reste néanmoins plaisante. Sa robe d'un noir total l'est également plaisante. Une effervescence très peu poussée ne permet pas la présence de mousse. Le nez est sur un café et un chocolat francs teintés de notes d’olives noires. L’attaque est peu amère sur des arômes simples mais efficaces de chocolat et de caramel. La deuxième monte sur l’amertume avec des arômes légers de poivre. L’alcool, sur des airs de gin, se fait quelque peu ressentir. L’ensemble manque de vivacité tout de même. L’arrière bouche, linéaire est d’ampleur très moyenne. Le final est par contre d’une bonne longueur avec des arômes qui se recentrent sur le café. Bon stout, mais la magie n’a pas opéré.

Dark, thick, roasty, with some dark cherry bitterness thrown into the mix. Very well-balanced. Right up my alley. 4.1
