Bottle at BrewDog Camden. It pours very dark brown, with a big light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and a touch of smoke. The taste is roasted malt, chocolate, wood, liquorice, caramel, cola, burnt malt and alcohol warmth, with a bitter-sweet finish. Med body, fine carbonation and good balance. Very well done.

Big brown head rises out of the glass. Deep dark red body with strong carbonation. Earthy roasty lacquer and wood aroma with spicy chocolatey notes. Dry-sweet roasty spicy chocolatey taste with wooden lacquer and earth notes. Mid-to-full body. Mild mouthfeel. Leaves sticky sugars on lips. Dry spicy earthy mineraly aftertaste with roasty wooden notes. Quite nice, but perhaps a bit sweet. (0.5l bottle, Ølbutikken, Copenhagen.)

Bolttle from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours dark brown with a cafe au lait head. Aroma of darkish milk chocolate. There’s a lot of chocolate, and maybe a light touch of coffee or could be hop. But there’s no stopping the chocolate. Excellent.
