Draft at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours pitch black with limited cream foam, very fine. Aroma is weak with some molasses and coffee. Body is medium dense, very smooth, with practically absent carbonation. Taste is moderate sweet. Finish is with some leftover roasted feeling.

Can. Nose: classic stout features. Light plus body. Smooth mouthfeel. Taste: dry roasty start with some coffee followed by complex ending that includes cream, smooth malts and just the right degree of hopping. Nice one

On tap at City Arms Cardiff. Black coloured, medium sized creamy cappuccino head, mild chocolate nose. Light roasted malt, milk chocolate, notes of caramel and touch of smoked sausages?! with smooth and sweetish finish. Easy-drinkable. Quite good macro stout.

Fra keg på Cambrian Tap Cardiff 2 Mai 17. Svart. Lavt lett farget skum. Forsiktig baconaroma. Smaken “smooth”. Litt sjokolade. Blir tørr etter hvert. Spor av mandler i avslutninga.

Keg, half-pint, shared with Finn at The Cambrian Tap. Solid lacing from a nitro, fawn-coloured head. Jet black body. Chocolate and dark doughy aromas, slightly roasted. Roasted black malty flavours with chocolate. Roasted ending with coffee notes. Rather thin in the mouth. Satisfying, easy drinking stout. (Cardiff 02.05.2017).

Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen - black pour tan head. Sweet and light roasty malty, milky chocolate, and some caramel sweetness, nice mouthfeel, not as bad as anticipated.

Svart med lavt beige kremete skum. Lite lukt, noe melkesjokoladelukt. Også lite smak, noe salt. Ikke noe jeg bestiller igjen.
