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.

Bottle from Beer Republic. Hazy black, thin, beige head. Strong aroma of espresso, fondant, burnt toast, tobacco, brown bread, dried fig, chestnut, teriyaki. Taste has sweetish fig & prune, quickly engulfed by a powerful toasty malt body with accents of nuts, coffee and earthy-umami teriyaki sauce. Deeply earthy hoppy finish, dried dark fruits lingering but mainly do the espresso, fondant & tobacco, very dry and bitter. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. It's almost a relief to have a 'classic' Stout like this again. Just perfect in all aspects, and in balance.

Schon in der Nase lässt sich erahnen wie schön röstig das Stout ist. Deutlich Espresso, Zartbitter-Schokolade, langer trocken-rostiger Abgang, astrein.

Bottle, 0.355l. Aroma of caramel, nuts, cocoa, roasted malt and coffee. Pours almost black color with thin creamy brown head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet chocolate and heavily roasted malt, following is dark fruity, quite juicy and herbal, mouthfeel is smooth with rather dry and medium bitter finish. Medium to full body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Close to perfection...
