Can. Black body with a small, stable beige head. Nice and strong aroma of dark malt, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Flavor is quite sweet, but still in balance with the bitterness and alcohol. Dark malt, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, bitter hops and warming alcohol. Fine body and long lasting pleasant aftertaste. Great one.

There's hazelnut all right! Super nutty, classic combination with sweet chocolate. The beer is also very bitter, and tastes a bit thin. Mouthfeel is good, but the flavours are all a bit flattened off. Maybe getting a bit too old?

Can split at L6, thanks to Kenny, 20/08/18. Pitch black with a well presented tan covering. Nose is dark chocoalte, light spice, dark fruit rinds, charr. Taste comprises chocoalte, hazelnut well evident, light roast, Nutella, charr, fruit rinds, burnt toffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. On point impy stout with a good schmack of Hazelnut but lacks a little depth for me.
