Optisch ein echter Leckerbissen, fluffiger Sahneschaum mit braunbeigen Kratern. In der Nase Milchkakao, im Trunk sehr vollmundig, Kaffeeschokolade, alkoholisch, spät leichte Röstnoten. Schmeckt stärker als es ist.

Dark brown with a frothy, beige head. Chocolate and oatmeal aroma, nice, but not as rich as I would have expected for a top 50 of the style. Taste is roasted bitter with a hint of resin and charred bitterness at the finish, which mostly hides the booze. Full-bodied, mildish carbonation, slightly watery texture at the end. Not bad, but purely average.

From Beer Drop. Canned April 15th 2022.
With an aggressive pour, there's an inch of tan foam, sitting under a pitch black liquid. No reddish hues, totally black. It has some lacing.
Smells roasty, has Oatmeal, some chocolate, hint of coffee.
The taste is roasted malt, chocolate, Oatmeal, hint of fruit and coffee with the latter being more noticeable.
Mouthfeel is good and smooth, not noticing the alcohol at all.
A very nice treat. Freemont did very well with this beer.

Can from Beer Republic. Hazy black, stable, frothy, beige head. Aroma of cappuccino, brownie, clove, brown bread, biscuit, chocolate sauce, dark fudge, candied plum, coffee liqueur. Taste has sweet plum, raisin and vague pear in a brown-bready, toasty, dark-chocolatey malt body with hints of creamy mocha, spices and 'burnt' cookie. Herbal hoppy finish, lingering dark chocolate, toast & dried fruit and warming coffee liqueur-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very enticing, textbook Stout.

35cl Blik van Beer Republic. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Fors gebrande geur en smaak, pure chocolade, verbrand brood, inkt, koffie, gebrande pinda's, bittere finish. Er zit gelukkig nog genoeg zoet in om eea in balans te houden. Goede ouderwetse stout.

Very dark brown with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have heavily roasted dark malts. Bitter coffee grinds too. Well balanced. Something worthy of repetition.
