Sweet stout mimicking Lamington cake, an Australian dessert involving coconut, cocoa and – not always but often – a layer of raspberry coulis. Mousy, pale yellowish beige, medium thick, open head, black robe with hazy mahogany edge. Aroma of toffee, indeed raspberry jam, brown bread, liquorish, soap, elderberry syrup, rainwater, old tea bags but very little to no coconut. Restrainedly sweet onset, dried figs and raisins with a very faint umami accent, soft carb, supple and smooth mouthfeel; caramelly, somewhat thinly nutty malt sweetness with a light toasty bitterish edge, raspberry coulis effect only distantly present, cocoa nibs are there but in an earthy kind of way and coconut remains all but absent; ends in a herbal, tea-ish bitterishness mixed with the remaining sweetness of the malts and that raspberry thing. Interesting idea but not very well executed, this lacks opulence, thickness and extravagance to make it work. Comes across as a simple brown porter even more than any kind of stout, with only a dash of raspberry, low cocoa and hardly any coconut at all – learn from Omnipollo, guys, even if not everyone is convinced beers like this can work…

6/VII/19 - 50cl can @ DOK Beer Festival (Gent), BB: VI/2019 - (2019-1006) Thanks to Thomas M. for sharing the can!
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy dense beige head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: roasted, little fruity, very malty, lots of grains, some chocolate. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: oh yes, lots and lots of raspberries, nice roast, bit sweet, some caramel, fruity touch. Aftertaste: alcohol, good, somewhat sweet, caramel, chocolate, soft roast, more raspberries, lovely!

Aroma has cocoa tones and chocolate. Flavour has tart-ish raspberries, some chocolate and cocoa. Raspberry is too tart here.
