This stout boasts a pleasant roast malt on the nose, and a velvet smooth mouthfeel. It gives subtle undertones of chocolate, a well-balanced bitterness and a soft caramel note throughout. The rich creamy texture owes to a new revised recipe and method, giving an almost pillow soft head and refreshing dry finish. The cascading nitro pour gives a tumbling, deep brown to jet black settle, delivering a perfect thumb high head of vanilla white cream.

Deep brown with ruby highlights. Was on. Intro so super pillowy tan head. Night dark fruit, light toasted malts, a bit of coffee, and medium bitterness in the finish. Medium body. Really nice.

From tap at L. Mulligan Grocer, Dublin, 22.03.25. Ebony. Dense and persistent pale brown head. Served very cold. Aroma and taste of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and perhaps a hint of pine. Slightly waterish, but that impression might be from the cold serving temperature.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes roasted malt, bread, and chocolate, leading to a bitter finish.

Draught @ Fox and Hounds, Sønderborg, Øllets Dag 2023. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt and coffee, with estery and hoppy touches. Bitter flavour of roast and hops, with sweetish touches of malt and yeast. Dry aftertaste with roasty and estery notes. Reasonable.
