From Dec 2007

I got this one in a great trade with JDV. Thanks Deniz!

This pours from 12oz bottle a very dark brown with reddish hues and a large tannish head of foam.

The smell has good notes of roasted malt and sweet chocolate but it's fairly light on the nose.

The taste has some nice sweetness to it from the chocolate followed by the roasted malt. Nice and tasty and a smooth drinking Stout. It has a medium mouthfeel to it and it finishes with that good roasty flavour. Pretty darned drinkable and the relatively low abv helps in that regard. I like this stuff! And that head of foam just keeps on hanging in there as a solid 1/2 inch layer with plenty of sticky lacing. Very attractive looking Stout and a very tasty one. I recommend it.

Bottle. Black colour, small head with decent lacing. Aroma is much coffee, also pine, very well balanced. Light bitterness, not sweet. Smooth, soft carbonation. Rich, but not aggressive. Very good!

Pours black from the bottle. The frothy tan head slowly subsides, leaving a sticky web of lacing. Aroma is Backhaus, coffee grounds, sweet cream. Taste is bitter with a light tang. Quite smokey. Dry. Body is medium with a mild carbonation. Overall not bad.

From old tasting notes. Color is deep brown with reddish hues. Rocky tan head. Wonderful chocolate roasted malt aroma. Fresh roasted malt flavor hints at chocolate, coffee and treacle. Long dry finish.na very interesting stout. Refreshing and satisfying.
