Bottle - Malty hop rye aroma. Very cloudy either little head. Nice creamy double without the yeast hit or alcohol finish.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of roasted malt and light black chocolate notes. Taste starts at first with some notes of dry roasted malt with notes of black chocolates, Peppers notes then come through with some light heat which is well balanced with the rest of the flavours. Body is about average with good carbonation and a somewhat creamy texture. Nota big fan of peppers in beer but this one was well balanced.

Dark brown color, almost black, with beige creamy head. Delicate aroma of roasted malts and dark chocolate. Good body structure; good flavor of dark chocolate, with a sharp chili touch; correct bitterness; the final is a bit burning, on the tip of the tongue. Good.

Sampled on tap at St. Augustine's, pours a dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of toasted nuts, baker's chocolate, bread and dry roast. Flavour of oatmeal, dry roast, bitter chocolate and toasted nuts. Light-bodied for a stout and quite bitter. Could use some sweeter notes to balance off the dry, bitter palate. Decent, but thin.

Sampled on tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy / clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma of apples / pears, sweet candied sugar, cotton candy and slight yeast notes. Flavour is more of a North American-style tripel - sweeter, more apple-y and candy-like - with the aforementioned qualities. Finishes quite sweet. Decent, but too sweet.
