500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is elegant, with roasted hazelnuts, moderate coffee character, and bourbon barrels. Flavour is extremely rich, with intense coffee, big bourbon barrels, gentle toasted hazelnuts, dark sugars, and alcohol. Jeez -- so well-integrated. Massive body but not close to brutal. Just a very big, complex, wonderfully constructed BA impie. Makes me sad that these guys are no more. Beauty.

0.473 l can thanks to Pilot Goran who brought it from Denmark as a present to Black Suba and Ade McSquid and thanks to Višnja 666 for making them share it with us. Oily jet black, minimal head. Aroma is molasses, syrup, raisins. Chocolate. Full body, sweet, syrupy, nice roasty and chocolate profile. Smooth, warming, but also alcoholic. A bit too strong, not unpleasant.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a dark brown foamy head with some retention and some light lacing notes. Aroma of black chocolate notes with some vanilla and bourbon notes. Taste is also a mix of black chocolate notes with some vanilla and bourbon notes with some residual sugar notes. Body is above average with creamy texture and good carbonation with some alcohol notes discernible. Enjoyable BA stout with nice balance.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Viscous black, no head. Aroma of chocolate sauce. Very sweet with full body and oily mouthfeel. Tastes exactly like chocolate sauce, with the exception that there is some alcohol in the finish.
