The dark caramel, large dense headed brew, with its 8.8% alcoholic content, is unique due to its sweet notes of chocolate and coffee interspersed into a foundation of dark roasted barley. Symbolic black to denote leadership, power, focus and strength, is dominant in the labeling as the lion journeys in the twilight unafraid, unbowed and unchallenged.

Vlack with la ing tan head. Nice roasted aroma, fruity coffe and chocolate notes. Flavour is similar with a light malty bitterness well balanced with sweetness. Good one.

przyjemny, kremowy zapach, sporo kawy, karmel, lekka wędzoność. pachnie trochę jak kawowy jogurt. kolor mocno ciemny, prawie czarny, piana dość trwała, bura. w smaku pełne, gorzkie, palone, lekko słodkie, trochę podobne do alkoholowych pralin w czekoladzie. nie czuć dużej ilości alkoholu. ciekawe zdecydowanie.

Bottle from Tesco’s (7.7% not the 8.8 listed here). Nose is strongly metallic, some coco, lactose and coffee giving a latte note beneath the metal. Taste is lactose, leading to malt, latte, soft chocolate in a rich smooth finish which hits a slightly thin bump near the end. Mouthfeel is good. It’s a decent high strength stout with a poor nose, but this is a style that in the hands of American’s produces some of the world’s best beers.

Bottle 330 ml from supermarket in Zagreb. Pours black with tan head. Roasted malts, some chocolate and dried fruits. A bit of surprise for me, not bad at all.

"The beer is black in colour with a thick brown head. It tastes rich with hints of chocolate and coffee before the taste of the roasted barley kicks in towards the end. The sweetness of the chocolate stays throughout the aftertaste. A really nice way to break away from the usual lagers I taste for this blog." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

Bottle. Black, no head. Heavy textured stout with a dreary roasted and sweet malt character.

Bottle, shared with Button, under a tree at Ripon races, 18th May. Nearly black. Lots of carbonation gives a big, bubbly, tan head. Smoky. Sweet, black coffee. Roast malt. Taste and palate are chewy and sweet, with the roast malt dryness and bitterness coming at the end. Overly carbonated, though.
