I poured this a bit too cold but aromaz are rosti cocoa and mineral. Flavors are similar to nose on the sweet side good carbonation nice balance easy drinking very good bitterness slightly sweet more than bitter finish excellent drinking beer. Others were saying the body is a bit thin but I think it's alright.

Compared side-by-side with the Double barrel variation. Thin lasting white head on top a pitch black liquid. Aroma shows me chocolate, light coffee hints, mild roast.
The flavor is of course chocolate malt like base. Mild coffee hints, some roasted malt. Body is maybe a tad thinner than I expect for a Imperial stout. Dry texture with a decent lingering coffee bitterness.

Bottle. A- Cocoa, chocolate, roasty. A- Black color, black liquid, tan fizzy head. T- Roasty, cocoa, malty. P- Medium body, thin texture, medium carbonation, roasty finish. O- In a glass this beer is so fizzy that you wouldn’t be able to tell it apart from a Coke. Not really the best of starts but okay. As the name implies it’s a Double Stout, not a Double Chocolate Stout, so don’t expect this to taste like Sam Smith’s Chocolate Stout. There is certainly a decent amount of chocolate on the nose and a little bit on the palate, but overall there isn’t much else. Some roastiness but not much complexity.
