Bottle at a tasting, thanks to Cuso. Thin body, moderate carbonation. No trace of roastiness. There is only shitloads of caramel, and I mean shitloads. Also solid oxidation going on. Slightly metallic as well. Not a stout by any means. Not great not terrible.

28/IX/19 - 20cl (?) bottle from a trade, shared @ pre-Borefts Day 2 Queue Tasting, BB: 10/II/19 - (2019-1625) Thanks to Tom for the trade!
Clear red brown beer, big creamy beige head, stable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty, caramel, nice roast, bit sweet, vanilla, almost surprisingly good! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice roast, little malty, bit sourish, lots of coffee, chocolate, very decent. Aftertaste: bitter, good roast, some caramel, sweet touch, nice acidity in there as well, surprisingly good beer. Probably the best Caribbean stout around. ;-)

@Bbf’19, Line up beer, mouthe, caramel, gebrand en geroosterd, chocolade en cacao, maar voor zo’n obscuur landjetick prima
