T.hanks to jb84 for the bottle!
Typical impy pour, black, small mocha head.
Aroma of dark fruit matls mixed with dark burnt malts, with some coffee, and dry cocoa. Mouthfeel is a touch thin, and the carb is low. Finish is very roasty with some leafy hops. Medium bitterness, and a big dose of roast. A touch of alcohol, and some espresso lingers.

Poured from 500mL bottle (2013 vintage). Very dark brown with minimal tan head. Dark fruit, mild soy, touch of chocolate, roast, and leather. Inoffensive, though though probably too old/oxidized.

500 (thx, Chris R.!) @ Alex's shared with Ryan. Vintage 2013, hehe. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: inky, some leather, malts, some fruity notes. Taste: still good body, but the taste is not really good anymore, inky, roasted malts, ashy. Overall: ok.

Jet black brown with a decent light brown head. Light molasses and dark chocolate. Tons of dark chocolate, coffee notes, and bitter cocoa on the finish. All around a really nice beer.

Bottle:(2014) Pours deep, oil-brown with a small tan head. Burnt coffee/chocolate aroma. Taste is dark chocolate malt, molasses...a bit of ash and alcohol bitter. Tasty, but just a little weak in the body. Excellent bottle art.

BOTTLE 50CL from bunget. Pitch black, espresso head. Strong coffee and chocolate in the nose, roasty, a touch of alcohol. Tastes roasty, coffee, acrid black malts, zesty spicy bitterness and some ashes. Correct and classic.

Smell of coffee, chocolate. Black colour, mid-brown head. Ashy palate. Aroma of burnt malt, ash, some oak. Also cocoa. Finishes with chocolate and coffee. Roasty bitter. Soft but rather plentiful carbon. Palate is part oily, part velvety.
