On the nose are aromas of dark chocolate, coffee and bacon. The palate combines the salty smoked bacon with roasted malts. It finishes strong and bitter.

330 ml botle from AmmersinO, Vienna.
Black, oily liquid, with a medium, dense, creamy, tan head.
Aroma of bacon, dry coffee, smoked wood, dark chocolate, liquorice.
Taste follows this, but with the bacon not as dominant.
Full, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes strong roasty-bitter, dry, smokey, wooden.
Tasty! A pretty challenging, strong, dry, roasty Stout, with the smokey bacon notes well integrated. The taste doesn’t fully keep up with the nose in my opinion, but still excellent stuff! I prefer the standard Beer Geek Breakfast much more though.

33cl bottle at Pudel, Tallinn. Pours very dark brown with a dissipating beige head. Deliciously roasty and smoky aroma with dark roasted coffee, dark, bitter chocolate, dark fruits and hints of spices and hops. Sweet, but very well balanced with delicious flavours af coffee, chocolate and notes of smoke. Simply delicious and excellent as a winter warmer. Nice dessert beer.

Bottle. Black beer, small brown head. Nice aroma of smokey bacon. Soft thick mouthfeel. Taste of coffee, vanilla and malt, with a layer of smoke and some bacon. Aftertaste is long and evolving, bitter, sweet and smooth. Very good.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small to average, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, tan head. Slighty ephemeral, smoky aroma in bacon direction, hints of oak, oak ashes, smoked Mettwurst (Rauchenden), at first disguised chocolately dark malty background, some coffee. Taste has a cautious smoky touch only in the very first beginning, then the "standard" ’Beer Geek’ takes over: roasty dark malty, notes of coffee and chocolate, some bitterness, some sweetness. Soft palate, mild carbonation supports the bitter notes, super long lasting finish. Hoped for more bacon presence.

Pitch black appearance with dark beige ring of foam. Smoky aroma, bacon and coffee. Bitter espresso/dark chocolate finish. Not very easy to drink, but very interesting.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a snifter. Coal black with small light brown head. Aroma is coffee, medium body, syrupy texture, medium/light carbonation, and some very small bubble lacing. Taste is some roasty, smoke, ash, and nice coffee finish. More smoke as it warms.
