Bottle at tasting. Pours black, tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, roasty. Taste is more of the same, coffee notes too. Ok, but a bit one-dimensional.

Bottle at Appellation Comely Bank tasting thanks to either Stuu666 or McNeillR. Appearance - opaque black with the slightest red chink. Nose - dark chocolate, a hint of smoke and then bitter coffee. Taste - more dark chocolate, something earthy in there too, bitter coffee on the finish. Palate - medium bodied with a big dry roasty middle section and a dry malty coffee finish. Overall - it’s good, but for this alcohol strength I hoped for another dimension to add to chocolate/coffee.

Botella de 66 cl en el momento en cimmeria el 10-10-2014. Embotellada en 03-10-2013. color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro. Sabores y aromas de maltas tostadas con buen equilibrio de ahumados, cacaos cafés y algo de lactosas y especias como la vainilla. Cuerpo medio de 8.75 vol que le dan buena sensación alcohólica. Bastante buena, bien equilibrada y con sabores intensos, sobretodo al coger temperatura. Para repetir de nuevo sin duda.

Draft @ the source. Aroma is layers of roasted malt is deep, burnt barley, and espresso bean. Layers of rich chocolate richness, hints of vanilla, caramel, coffee. Full body with a creamy texture. Really impressive and well crafted.

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a dark brown with beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is roast, cocoa bean, chocolate, and licorice. Slick mouthfeel with strong roast, dark chocolate with lingering dry finish. Good

zwart met fijne schuimige bruine kraag, die goed kleverig is. direct bij het openen van het fles komt de volle chocolade en volmoutigheid beslag leggen op het aroma in de kamer, heerlijk. eerste slok, volle romigheid, lage co2, zoet, lekker glad/zacht in de mond, koffie, chocolade, goede volmoutigheid van gebrande - en geroosterde mouten, na een aantal slokken komt het wat overheersend van de koffie en chocolade over. het alcohol komt daarbij goed verwarmend door. afdronk is die van een koffiebitterje. De hoofdtonen blijven overwegend koffie en chocolade, heb nog een vol glas bewaard voor de volgende dag, was benieuwd hoe hij dan zou zijn, maar dat smaakte ook uitermate goed, ’t is geen super stout, maar vond hem gewoon lekker !
