Bottle shared with, and courtesy of a large huddled group of emperor penguins in Deanso’s living room. Black with a ring tan head. Aroma of roast, overripe dark fruits, licorice, malt and sharp fruity notes. Flavour is moderate sweet and above moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

From a 355ml bottle on 19/10/2016. Pours close to black with a small head. The nose is roasty and nutt, with a bit of vanilla.. The flavour features dark chocolate with hints of caramel, coffee and vanilla, along with some mild vinous notes. The bitterness is quite sharp with some burnt character to it. Full bodies with moderate carbonation. A solid enough stout.

Black with dark, creamy head. Aroma and flavour have dark roasted malts and a touch of coffee. It’s bittersweet and has a smooth, creamy texture.

0,355l bottle at home. No BB date. black color, small dark coffee-colored head. smells nicely of bitter chocolate, earthy, coffee, roast, lightly leathery, nicely creamy, also some milk chocolate, very nice smell. medium to full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of coffee, a bit ashy, earthy, hints of bitter chocolate, a bit scratchy bitterness. finishes lightly roasty bitter and earthy with notes of coffee and leather. overall very nice beer, taste is lacking a bit compared to the very nice smell, might be also related to freshness since its unclear how old the bottle is.

Bottle @ home. Opaque dark brown to black color, medium sized dark brown head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, soft roasted malts, some coffee slightly in the background. Taste malts, light roast, some milk chocolate, mocha. Quite sweet, only a slight bitter touch. Medium body, decent carbonation. Quite nice, I like this a lot!
