Can from Drinkmonger (2024) and Lupe Pintos (2026). Black body with ruby highlights and a thick beige head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of charred wood, cocoa, dark chocolate and biscuit. Flavour of chocolate and vanilla with a bitter finish. Medium to full body with creamy mouthfeel. Gentle fizz. This is very tasty. I’d like to try a blind side-by-side tasting with Guinness as I think this would come out on top.

Deep brown/black with a good finger of creamy, tan head. Roasted malts, coffee, milk chocolate, toffee, sweet malts. Full, smooth body. Feels a bit sweeter with dark sugars throughout. A good one.

Can from Mr. Hop, drunk after mediocre sushi in Unterhaching at a new place. Everyone in the family smells like a fryolator, especially those with long hair. This beer makes me forget that weird experience. Beautiful hop widget pour, perfect firm nitro head. Roasted grain and fresh malt, hops on the nose. Smooth roasted flavor, mild dark-maltiness but mostly dry. Great balance with earthy hop notes and a bit of acidity. Very tasty stout!

Darkest brown. Aroma is much on the mushroom side. Light bitter slightly stale with light sourness. Rather umami. Not too shabby.

Creamy, lightly smoky, soft roast, hints of coffee, cocoa and vanilla. Silky smooth, soft and surprisingly refreshing.

Lattina. Il gusto al naso rimanda al caffè e al cioccolato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cremoso mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di panettone, cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia, nocciole tostate, frutta secca e agrumi.

Tasted at the Peterborough Beer and Cider Festival 2024 with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, chocolate and molasses. Decent to thin body with a biter finish.
