Bottle at Speciaalbier Café De Markies, Leeuwarden. Aroma is extremely roasty with coffee, syrupy notes, dark chocolate, roasted and burnt malt, soft vanilla, charcoal, notes of dark fruits, mild liquorice. Flavour is medium sweet and rather heavily roasted bitter. Body is full. Very nice, potent flavour and aroma, bold Stout.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 06.07.2016 / bbe 06.07.2021) im 2016-09 getrunken. Dieses Stout mit braun-schwarzer Schaumkrone erschlägt einem fast mit seiner Röst-Bitterkeit. Es ist so als ob man in geröstete Kaffeebohnen beißt und dann zerkaut. Leider fehlt hier jegliche Balance und die BItterkeit sorgt für kein Spaß im Glas. 7/4/3/2/6 Aus der Flasche (bottled 06.07.2016 / bbe 06.07.2021) im 2022-04 getrunken. Diese nun fast 6 Jahre alte Kaffeebohnen-Monster ist deutlich gezähmter und auch wenn es deutlich nach kalten Kaffee schmeckt rundet im Hintergrund ein feines Schokoladen-Aroma das Stout ab. Die Röst-Bitterkeit ist nun sehr gut eingebunden und ist sehr stimmig zum Aroma. Jetzt ist es ein gutes Stout. 7/4/7/4/10

Smell of oak, vanilla, roasted malt, whisky. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma of tar, oak, vanilla, licorice. Some smoke and peat in finish. Very viscous texture, flat carbon. Sweet with some bitterness. Very heavy body.

330ml bottle, B498, 2017 version, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. The oily pour reveals a fading one-finger thick espresso head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Deep black body. Rich aroma of dark chocolate and molasses, nicely roasted. Solid roasted malt-driven dark chocolate taste profile, hints of dark fruits beneath. Bitter roasted coffee finish, mouth filling and smooth. Just the kind of slow sipper I like to enjoy on a dark Saturday eve. (Tromsø 17.02.2018).

Flaske 330ml fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Sentrum. Merket 2017 men samme prosentstyrke som i 2016. (Bottled 16Nov17). Svart. Høyt brunt skum som daler veldig sakte og etterlater lett lacing. Direkte pent! Aroma av sjokolade & lakris. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken tørr sjokolade. Balansert. Blir veldig tørr & moreish etter hvert. Toppøl!
