Deze zware stout is gebrouwen met wat rookmout en veel donkere geroosterde moutsoorten. Hierdoor krijgt het bier veel drogende gebrande bitterheid. Deze bitterheid doet denken aan salmiak, jodium en teer. De Amerikaanse hopsoorten geven het bier een sterk aroma van overrijpe mango en versterkt de teerachtige aroma's. Volgens enkele proevers doet het denken aan een Islay malt whisky qua aroma.

@BFGM15, Zeer vriendelijke gozer die mij kwam helpen (+1). schenkt zwart met bruine kraag. Aroma is behoorlijk kruidig, stevige laurier, donker fruit, gebrande mouten. Smaken van laurier, weer die enorme kruidigheid, gebrande mouten, dik maar ook zacht en glad, tevens redelijk hop bittertje, mis de rookmouten een beetje, zeer sterk, redelijke body, lage co2.smaakvol en ok

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2013. Poured black with a huge tan head (it did not agree with a hand pump engine). Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and caramel. Very full, smooth mouth feel. Initial flavours of molasses, liquorice and dark fruit. Turns to burnt malt, espresso and a little dark rum.

Keg at Beer Temple - Amsterdam. Pours black-brown with a creamy, brown head. Rich roasted malt aroma with moderate chocolate, all-around dark malts, raisins. Medium to big sweet flavor with good roast, just hints of smoke, ripe dark fruits, ash, more raisins, light meat, dry earth. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Lightly warming to finish with burnt wood, restrained roasted malts, light bitter cocoa, dried fruits (especially raisins), very light leather, burnt sugar. Very good stuff, super well balance, not overly sweet or smokey. Great beer.
