A stout as black as the nearby volcanic flow from which it is named. Dive into its dark, robust depths with intense layers of espresso and chocolate. Roasted malt and barley give it a full, toasty finish.

Sampled at the Savor DC event. Pours a medium bodied, opaque black with a cloudy white head. Aroma has roasted malts, nuts and coffee. Flavor is both sweet and creamy with plenty of coffee, toasted grain, chocolate, and a hint of citrus. Finish is dry with coffee bitterness.

Bottle. Pours a black color with a small longlasting tan head. Roasted malty chocolate and coffee aroma. Roasted malty hoppy bitter coffee flavor with some hints of chocolate, also some hints of licorice. Has a roasted malty licorice finish with a bitter aftertaste.

12oz bottle pours deep darkness with mocha head and spotty lacing. The aroma is roasty, chocolate covered malt balls and some licorice. The taste kicks off with a mouth full of highly roasted malts, burnt malts and coffee beans. Chocolate notes surface midway and ride with the roasted malts into the finish. Very nice stout.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours completely black and opaque with a dense, creamy, light brown head leaving laces. Very burned aroma. Medium body with a very smooth mouthfeel, distinct flavours of burned malt and a high degree of sweetness - this really comes close to a Sweet Stout. Burned, bitter finish. 290307
