Bottle from Stacks. Hazy black, stable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of espresso, tobacco, chocolate sauce, black olive, salmiak, peated whisky, charred wood. Taste has sweetish raisin & brambleberry in a dark-chocolatey malt body; bitter 'caffè crema' along with umami salmiak & smoke in the middle. Peppery hops in the finish, pronounced coffee roast & fondant and warming peated whisky-like alcohol, establishing the smoky effect until the very end withouth overdoing it. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Another powerful Brambrass Stout.

Nicely thick and oily. Gentle whisky flavour. Touch of BBQ and burnt wood. Not so much peat though unfortunately. That element is quite subdued. Furthermore a very good strong stout. Slight alcohol burn too.

330 ml bottle. Pours almost black with moderate tan head. Aromas of black coffee, dusty oak, subtle whiskey, ink and roasted malts. Flavors follow same with a bit more emphasis on the whisky and nice but not overpowering peaty notes. Nice soft carbonation. Beautiful BA and integration.
