Jan. ’16. On tap at Craft Room, Zagreb, admittedly the last drops of the barrel so it might have been impaired. It poured pitch black body with medium sized brown head atop. Weak aroma of dark malts like cocoa, licorice, chocolate, nuts. Flavor was lightly sweet roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, licorice, wood, some spices. Pleasant but very weak really. Thin in body with short finish with smooth cocoa and similar, already mentioned subtle things. Way too light, not impressive at all! Despite all of the nice notes.
Then I’m thinking again how it might be in a bad shape, I might try it again bottled some day, but I’m too grudging to risk and pay, what, like 10 euros for it in beershops, not even talking about the bars.

A deep dark stout with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity dark chocolate malt with light vanilla, light chili, coffee grind, light bourbon barrel notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with light pepper, light grassy hops, coffee grind, musty character, nice and complex. On tap at Mikkeller and Friends, Reykjavik.

Tap at Mikkeller Tokyo. Roasted coffee and malt nose with some light pepper and a touch of sweetness present. Dry on the palate with good roasted espresso notes and hoppy bitterness. Not much sweetness on the palate really. Peppery finish with some cayenne pepper as it warms. Super complex for the abv and enjoyable.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, best before 10/14/2019. Pours dense pitch black color with a 2 finger dense and rocky dark brown bread with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Incredible appearance. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toasted dark bread, molasses, chili pepper, smoke, tobacco, nuttiness, light dark fruit/licorice, pine, light char, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, cocoa/spice, and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of huge dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toasted dark bread, molasses, chili pepper, smoke, tobacco, nuttiness, light dark fruit/licorice, pine, light char, and herbal/roasted earthiness. Good amount of roast/char/pine bitterness and pepper spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toasted dark bread, molasses, chili pepper, smoke, tobacco, nuttiness, light dark fruit/licorice, herbal, pine, and roast/char earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, cocoa/spice, and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitter/spiciness balance and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from bitter/spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/chalky, and sticky/resinous balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Very minimal pepper heat as well. Overall this is an outstanding spiced American stout style. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, cocoa/spice, and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.
