An intense, rich and luxurious stout, using six different grains (Maris Otter, Munich, Brown, Black & Chocolate malted barley; and rolled oats) to create a decadent complexity in malt profile, texture and balance.

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail
Bottled 08/07/14 - Pours pitch black with a tiny head. Aroma of licorice, roasty malts, dark chocolate, berries, cherries and hints of cocoa. Taste is smooth, roasty and salty with hints of licorice, soy sauce, cherries and cocoa nibs. Finish is smooth, oily and warming with hints of salty licorice, berries and syrup. Interesting, but a bit unbalanced.

On tap at In de Wildeman. Black colour, beige head. Aroma of toffee, hard-roasted malts, black liquorice, some booze, coffee, chocolate, berries. Flavour is likewise, a little hot in the alcohol department, but lots of nice roast flavours and toffee, good bitter finish. Medium bodied.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein total schwarzes Bier mit einer ordentlichen braunen Schaumkrone. Geruch stark nach Kaffee, Schokolade, Vanille und Röstmalz. Geschmack sehr schokoladig, Vanille, viel Kaffee, bitter, etwas hopfig.
