Flasche von Getränke Töpper, Berlin-Moabit. - Tiefschwarz, feinporiger hellbrauner Schaum. - In der Nase schwere, süße Gewürze und Mokka. - Im Antrunk schweres, dichtes Röstmalz mit Mokka, reichlich Karamelsüße, obergäriger Fruchtigkeit (Trauben), einer Spur Vanille und würzig-erdiger Herbe, zart säuerlich abgeschmeckt. Mild rezent, dennoch fast etwas zu rezent für ein so schweres Bier. Öliges Mundgefühl. Im Abgang erdig-holzige Herbe und eine Spur von Teer. Kräftig röstmalzbitterer Nachtrunk. Hopfen kommt etwas zu kurz. - Sehr wuchtiges, dichtes aber nicht allzu komplexes Gebräu aus schwerem Röstmalz und dichter Süße, etwa wie ein stark gesüßter kalter Mokka (aber natürlich besser). Ein Genuß.

500 ml bottle into snifter, bottled on 12/20/2011. Pours pitch black color with a 2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, coffee, molasses, toast, dark bread, toffee, herbal, raisin, plum, and roast/yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good complexity and balance of dark/roasted malt and light-moderate yeast ester notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, coffee, toast, molasses, dark bread, herbal, raisin, plum, and roast/yeast earthiness. Fair amount of herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, roast, coffee, toast, molasses, dark bread, herbal, raisin, plum, and roast/yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic balance, complexity, and robustness of dark/roasted malt and light-moderate yeast ester flavors; with an awesome roasted malt bitterness/sweetness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, moderately creamy, and lightly chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an awesome English stout! All around great complexity and balance of dark/roasted malt and light-moderate yeast ester flavors; and extremely smooth to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

Tiefschwarze Farbe, angenehm malziger Geruch. Der Antrunk ist malzig-vollmundig-sehr süffig und leicht süßlich. Zum Hauptteil kommt eine angenehme volle Röstmalznote hinzu, die sich sehr angenehm mit dem malzig-herben Bier verbindet. Der Nachgeschmack ist lang anhaltend, sehr schön herb und dabei schön röstmalzig-trocken.
→ Leckeres Stout, dem man die 7% nicht anschmeckt. Nicht zu süß und schön röstmalzig-herb!

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe, shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours dark brown, near black, thin beige head. Aromas are milk chocolate and... well... nothing else. Taste has a nuttiness, but mostly chocolate. Lacks roastiness and depth for a 7%er. OK.

33cl bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque black olive, nice creamy head. Nose - milk chocolate develops as the head dissipates. Taste - good chocolate and hazelenut note. Appearance - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long elegant finish. Overall - this improved the further I took it. Not the 7% it’s suppsed to be.

500 ml bottle at Fox and Hounds, Åbenrå. Dark brown, close to black body with a light beige head. Mild aroma of roasted malt with a hint of coffee. Flavor is pleasantly roasted dark malt, quite sweet, some biscuit, fruit and moderate bitterness. Fine body and long aftertaste. Nice, tasty and smooth.
