Cola oscura, casi negra. Super abundante espuma, ligeramente tintada. No muy densa, aspecto de magdalena hinchada, pero espectacular. Aroma principalmente a chocolate. Cremosa y suave en boca, con un sabor excelente y buena carbonatación. Rica, rica malta tostada, con cierto dulzor. Café tostado en el postgusto. Buen cuerpo. Gran stout, a excepción de cierto gusto metálico que impide que sea excelente. En todo caso muy buena.

Аромат неплохой, немного сухой, много жженого солода, горького шоколада с намеками на изюм а также нотки кофе. Цвет черный, пенка полу кофейная, не долго держится. Вкус по началу хороший, но при глотке ощущается немного странная горчинка с примесями. Есть черный шоколад, немного зерен кофе и все наверно, возможно немного землянистости. Но вот немного несносное и местами не сбалансированное послевкусие портит впечатлении.

Bottle from Connolly's Wine Merchants, online. Pours dark, near black, small beige head Aroma of roasted malts, demerara sugar, dark chocolate, hint of coffee, spicy hop. Taste is roasty, dark chocolate, quite sweet and then an earthy bitterness comes in with some coffee, wood, burnt toast, a tingle of spice in the finish. Medium bodied, semi-slick mouthfeel. A very good stout.

Bottle 0,5ltr: The brown colored version with this name, this Stout looks more like an Porter. Taste is sweetly bitter and hints of caramel and chocolate.

Creamy light brown head left a spotty cover & collar on a still black body. Coffee, roasted & malt aroma. Burnt, roasted, malt & dark chocolate tastes with a tangy fruity finish. What a lovely Stout.
