0.33 l bottle from 'Bierhandwerk', best before May 2020. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, almost stable, brown head. Sweetish-malty, moderately roasty and slightly resiny aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, some hazelnut and a touch of pine. Moderately sweet, malty, quite roasty and slightly resiny taste of dark chocolate, lots of licorice, coffee, some hazelnut and a bit of pine, followed by a long, rather roasty-bitter, moderately earthy-dry, moderately resiny finish. Medium to full body, slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very intense stuff, less sweet than expected, extremely hoppy for a Stout.
