Bottled 330ml (Arkadia, BB 09/2012)
Dark opaque color, small brown head. Strong aroma of chocolate and cocoa powder. Light bodied, watery for this ABV. Cold coffee, chocolate, toasted maltyness. A bit sweetish finish. Right elements are there, very chocolaty brew, but lacks body and powa.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that fades to less than a coat. Aroma of sweet iced coffee. Slightly syrupy with low carbonation. Taste is sweet with some roasted malt behind poor iced coffee and chocolate syrup. Some hops peek out at the end to attempt to clean up. At least thereβs a caffeine kick.

Bottled (thanks Tasogare!). Quite much pitch black colour with a small beigeish brown coloured head. Aroma is coffee and chocolate with some roasted notes. Flavour is much the same along with some toffee.

33cl bottle from Alko Arkadia. Poured almost black with a thin beige head. Aroma brought back childhood memories when eating Fazer Carneval cookies, the beige colored ones :). Lots of mild coffee and moccha in aroma, covering almost everything else. Flavor is very similar, moccha, coffee and roasted malt. Light body, one dimensional, not very interesting.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, from Alko Arkadia, 20111220) The beer poured almost black and clear. Its head was small, fizzy and light brown. Aroma had coffee and chocolate. Palate was nearly full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were coffee, chocolate, creaminess and low bitterness. Aftertaste had coffee, metallicness and low bitterness. Not a good coffee stout. Beer flavours were too hidden.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 09/2012
Aroma has rather much mocha that feels like some kind of coffee dessert, maybe tiramisu? Also some caramel. Flavour has cold mocha coffee. Dry, somewhat bitter and slightly sticky finish. Too thin palate. A bit weird (or unique) but kind of nice still.
