Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Lior D. Clear golden with a big white head. Nice hoppy aroma, citric and tropical (some carambola). Dry flavor with nice fruity hops, and a bitter finish. Medium-bodied, lively carbonation. Nice and refreshing.

nice bottle! pours almost black with a brown head and little lacing. strong aroma of roast, coffee, chocolate, medicine. flavour of coffee, chocolate, licorice, quinine/tonic water. roasty bitter finish. I’m keeping the bottle.

pours a hazy lemon yellow with a big frothy white head and a nice lacing. sweet floral aroma, perfume. citrusy flavour, more grapefruit towards the finish. light body, dry.

Bottle sample at Ariel’s farewell tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Lior D. 8.5%. Black with a tan head. Aroma of roast, coffee, ash, bitter chocolate, cocoa. Bittersweet flavor, roasty, with coffee, chocolate, cocoa, some ash, and a bitter finish. Full-bodied. Really good stuff.

Bottle sample at Ariel’s farewell tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Lior D. Cloudy orange. Aroma is funky, yeast, quite soapy, a bit farty, with some fruitiness. Flavor has a bit of malt sweetness, soapy funk, yeast, harsh bitterness. Medium-bodied. Tastes a bit like an unintentionally infected beer, somewhat harsh.

Draft served in tulip glass at B12 in Girona. Can’t see through the thick orange-copper body. Thick foamy head and sticky lacing. Aroma is uber strong tea malts and caramel. Some mild tangerine fruit underneath that, can’t tell if it’s yeast or hops. Flavor is less of that strong tea and has a slight hop bitterness at the end. Not too my liking on the malt aroma.

Draft at Le Sec in Barcelona. Pitch black, not much head but the halo ring Is brown. It’s a black patent malt heavy Impy and low hopped. So, it has advantages and disadvantages. I’m happy with the malt bitterness being strong but not too strong. Black malt syrup sweetness but again not too much, actually can be sweeter to offset the malt bitterness. A lighter body with reduced carbonation for the style. It’s a good try for the style, nothing off putting for me, just not something that really stands out. I wish I could have bought the bottle, which is awesome.

A deep dark stout with a thin mocha head. In aroma, bitter chocolate with coffee grind, herbaceous hops, resinous and piney, light cheesey notes, interesting. In mouth, a sweet fruity chocolate malt with coffee grind, musty character, resinous floral hops, burned toasts, alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at St Bock.
