Not for the faint hearted! Our stout rewards the palate with robust flavor of roasted malts (malts are roasted like coffee beans) and heavy hops. A creamy smooth surprise.

From the tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours black with abundant brown foam. Aroma is vanilla and roasted coffee. Body is slightly light with rather low carbonation. Delicate. Taste is moderate in both sweetness and bitterness, the roasted feeling being dominant. Finish is not very interesting.

Black with thin, quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have a very good balance of sweet and bitter. Smooth roasted malts. Light bitterness. Well rounded.

Bottleshare at Matteo’s. Thanks to Daniel. Clear deep amber beer, good pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, modest carbonation. Smooth mild dark malts. Trace of milky sweetness. Modest dark malt tang and dark fruits. Smooth semi dry finish. Okay.

0.33 l bottle from Saveur Bière. Dark beer with medium, but quickly disappearing head. Wonderful aroma has roasted malts, coffee, dark bread and caramel. Taste is a bit drier with hints of coffee and roasted malts. Some caramel and milk chocolate also. Almost medium body, but maybe a bit watery feeling, which is the only negative aspect of this beer.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Danny boyo. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. The nose holds some tangy dark malts, berries, mild cocoa, earth. Light sweet flavour with notes of milk chocolate, soft roast, mild of earth. Light to medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Nice balance in the finish, with some raisin, toasted brown bread. Easy, enjoyable.
