Can. Black, offwhite to tanned brown head. Cocobean, vanilla, tonka bean or vanilla notes? Praline nose. Medium full sweet base, cocoa, praline coffee, light jammy, chewy, broad chokolate, lovely.

Can. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is very intense cocoa, mild wood, indeed has a lot of tonka character, would also guess cinnamon or coconut - amazing what you can do with the right combination of cocoa and wood only. Taste is cocoa, lots of complexity, wood and tonka-like. Velvety mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Lovely stuff!

Tap at Siren, Tap Yard, 7th November 2021. Pours almost black, no head. Aroma is chocolate, spice, Tonka. Taste is dark chocolate and cocoa, wood, spice, tannins, almost chemical spice, probably the Tonka, never too sweet, smooth and easy drinking. Excellent

Pours black, no real head. Scent is mildly herbal. Taste is full, creamy with a sharp, bitter edge. Amburana / Tonka aroma. Not nearly as great as the edition before this.

12 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is loaded with deep dark cocoa upfront, with some amburana wood, and a touch of spice. Flavour is rich and velvety, with lots of amburana wood and loads of rich chocolate. There's a touch of cinnamon-like spice, but it's mostly just lots of dark chocolate and wood. Love that amburana character. Delicious.

330ml on Alex's porch. Appearance: dark brown with a beige head. Aroma: cinnamon like notes, chocolate, moderately sweet. Taste: along the same lines, medium body as for 10.2%, a bit dry and black chocolate aftertaste. Overall: pretty good, Cigar City style stout, but not that spicy.

A big thank you to Grumbo for this gift and for changing me from the commercial beers of the caillou. Avec cacao, vanille, lactose et bois de cyprès et d'amburana, il y a de l'idée dans cette Death By Carribean Chocolate Cake. Côté réalisation, quelques imperfections nous empêchent de rentrer complètement dans cet Imperial Stout. En premier lieu nous noterons une sucrosité trop poussée, saturant quelque peu le palais et ce malgré un alcool à 10,2 qui est satisfaisant. Un manque de complexité et un final un peu court sont également à déplorer. Du côté des arômes, c'est in fine un duo cacao/caramel qui s'impose, les notes boisées restant discrètes, un peu trop à mon sens. L'ensemble n'en reste pas moins appréciable avec des arômes de surcroît intenses et une belle densité. En verre nous sommes sur un noir total, sans mousse. Au nez c'est le cacao qui l'emporte avec du caramel, de la vanille et un boisé qui est bien dosé. On découvre une texture agréable à l’attaque, suave, sur des arômes pleins. Côté arômes chocolat et caramel l'emportent accompagnés d'un léger boisé et d'une touche pimentée. Belle présence en seconde bouche mais sur des arômes linéaires. Ceux-ci n'évoluant pas sur une arrière bouche un peu plus amère. Final court mais avec des arômes imprégnant le palais. Imperial Stout à la mode actuelle, avec des arômes pleins mais saturés et une sophistication souhaitée n'apportant pas énormément.

Tap at BGB. Pitch black body, scant traces of a brownish head. Aroma... Wow, hmm.. mixture of carob, tonka, raisins and cocoa. Mostly tonka tho. Lean, drinkable taste, tonka ruling the place over a cocoa-raisin mix. A bit on the lighter side, some alcohol shows up but... Very drinkable and tasty. Excellent!
