deep dark fruit, black liquorice, dark chocolate, salty nose. Full bodied, dry, lots of layers and depth here. Salty, with a bit of acidity over roasted malts. very well balanced and lets the roasted malts shine in the finish. Def not a lot of hops, but that is what I like. Much more English, than American. Top notch.

Draught at Q-Brick. Fruity, chocolate aroma with lots of berries—blueberries especially, and some cola. No roasted aroma or coffee, but a bit of sweet orange and milk. Black with pretty brown lace. Delicious—dark chocolate, berries, burnt wood, gin, alcohol burn just right. Prickly carbonation combines with high acidity to make it rather stimulating in the mouth—maybe too much so, but it is interesting. A very original beer, not at all a mainstream stout.
