33 cl can at Lambic, Alcalá de Henares, stated at 12,6%. Oh boy, is this a pitch black brew. Oh yeah it is. Brownish head, not lasting long. Aroma is the usual suspects: coffee here, tobacco there, vanilla elsewhere. And then some chicory, some carob bean, some chocolate. Oh boy, has this a good mouthfeel. Oh yes it does. Silky, velvety onset, oh boy, and then a full body, smooth carbo, slick palate, very umami... and on it goes. Good stout, good one. Very long lasting, some more coffee, now comes the sweet pumpkin. Round all-great ale, boy- oh boy. I'm pretty sure this will age magnificently and become even more interesting after a decade or more.

Very dark brown with lasting head. Aroma and flavour are herbal and woody like Palo Santo. Some sweeter elements start to hint towards Tonka and coconut but luckily they are quite subdued.
