Bottle. Clear amber body under a small tan head. Aroma has malt, caramel and chocolate. Taste is sweet malt, caramel, chocolate, hint of coffee and mild bitterness. Balanced body and same aftertaste. Interesting take on the pastry thing with more natural ingrediencies.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with ruby shimmer and average to huge, thick, creamy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Minimally soapy, spicy, and slightly roasty dark malty aroma, hints of bath salt, lavender, a touch of cocoa, green chillies, liquorice. Taste is herbal-spicy, bitter, roasty dark malty, hints of chocolate, cocoa, some pepper, a touch of bath salt, lavender, liquorice, floral overtones, some warming alcohol. Creamy and slightly oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft carbonation. Interesting, but also a bit weird spiciness, not much Stout character - meh.

Tap at the Watering Hole. Dark brown colour, big thick golden head. Aroma is oaty, dairy, slight citrus, rich, dark fruity, bit of chocolate sweetness and touch of alcohol. Taste is good, more booze, very rich, fruity sweetness, slight boozy funkiness. Quite belgian. Very nice. Full bodied but easy to drink.

This one has been in the cellar for a couple years. Probably courtesy of wombat23 since that’s where most of my BFM Stock came from, and there’s no German labeling. Virtually black with a creamy beige head that lingers. Vanilla and chocolate aroma. Fairly straightforward. Taste is mildly sweet up front and nuanced—full of vanilla, black tea, herbs and chocolate. The finish is more peppery than bitter, although a mild bitterness is present. Big thick body that covers the alcohol completely. Delicious.

Brownish with foamy head. Mixed flavour with fresh hop bitterness and dark malts. Rather gassy and maybe overly hopped for the style.
