Pours pitch black with a layer of brownish head that recedes pretty quickly, no lacing. In the aroma: a very intense soft feeling of strong milk chocolate with clear notes of vanilla. Very intense aroma as mentioned, also very monotonous. A bit more complexity in the taste: the slightest hint of roasted malts, but still dominated by the soft pastry feel, with strong milk chocolate and vanilla, plus a hint of marzipan. A light, pleasant warming feel, with well hidden alcohol. Very sweet in both taste and aftertaste, on the verge of too sweet though it's a clean/flawless sweetness. Quite dense in body (actually not that much for the abv) with light to medium carbonation, resulting in a very soft, creamy mouthfeel. The beer was overall flawless and not unpleasant but to like this you have to like your stout very sweet, very creamy and very pastry, which is not really my thing.

Can thanks to Hunter. Pours black with large frothy tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong roast, dark chocolate, licorice, spice. Slick body, cocoa, licorice, marzipan, spice, boozy finish, very good.

Draught@HBF2017. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, toffee and some berries. Flavour is alcohol, toffee, coffee, some tartish notes, but yet overly sweet. Nice toffee and liquorice finish to it.

Draught at Underdog in Dublin back in 2019. Scores recorded at the time but not tasting notes.

Canned, huge thanks Hrabren! Most of my half of the can ended up in my lap because reasons, but hey, some's still here! Great! Now my room's gonna smell of 3 Bean Stout! Thankfully, that's great. Very dark brown body, some head. Enormous, perfumey aroma, tonka owning everything beautifully, over some coconut and cocoa. The taste continues along the lines of the tonka glory, covering again some cocoe, but hits with an early herbal bitterness that doesn't mix well with the perfumey excellence that is the rest of the beer. Light warming, well integrated alcohol for the 12%. Good stuff!
