330ml can. Jet black colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, mostly lasting, wonderfully lacing, beige head. Chocolately, roasty dark malty, aroma, notes of dark chocolate, hints of coffee, slightly herbal, hoppy overtones, grapefruit notes. Taste is roasty dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, hints of coffee, fruity hoppy hints of mandarine and grapefruit. Nice earthy dirtiness throughout.

Can at 4.5%. Dark brown with a hint of purple. Thin layer of light brown head. Coffee, cola, a hint of resin. Gentle sweet taste turns to a pronounced bitter in the finish. Mouthfeel is a bit thin but other than that its a lovely hoppy stout.

Can. Both aroma and taste overpowered by coffee, rough and slightly vegetably. Full bodied chewy particulate coffee. More so than beer. Good, but not to my taste and could use more balance. A lot more.

Bottle kindly shared by Gurthnar, many thanks.Dark brown color with huge light beige head. Strong coffee aroma. Taste, too much coffee, light roasted malt, notes of vanilla. Less coffee would do bitter job.

Can [from Secret Euro Santa 2015] @ home. Opaque dark brown color, full sized beige to light brown head. Aroma is malts, coffee, roasted malts, hops. Taste is a wonderful blend of hops and roasted malts. Some coffee, dark malts and a solid malt and hop bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. Very nice!

Can from SIPS at home with Steph before CNY. Pitch black pour with tan head. Aroma is very coffee with some burnt chocolate, a bit of hoppiness. Taste follows. Super burnt coffee-forward, in an interesting if not entirely pleasant way. Sort of like a very dialed down, and less balanced, TO ØL Black Malts Body Salts. There's definitely some hoppiness but again, the burnt coffee grounds dominate. Light body. A lot going on but it's not quite in concert.
