At a tasting, thanks, small stable light brown espresso head, opaque black color, flavor plums and prunes, dark chocolate, toasted bread and cocoa, flavor of cocoa, dark chocolate and earthy notes, medium bitterness, quite sweet. Nice.

Super rich dark brown coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall brown head with an oily glow on top. Aroma of raisins, roasted malt, coffee, milk, earth, nuts, caramel and a good dose of bourbon and alcohol - quite pungent. Medium to Full-bodied; Slightly smokey flavour at first with a good roast flavour, showing some lactic notes, a hint of earth, some nuts and raisins and a little toast on the finish. Aftertaste is rich and creamy with a lot of lactose and roast at the end, with some alcohol bite, a touch of coffee and a slight bitterness at the tail end. Overall, a nice robust beer that is on the light side (or continental) of Imperial Stouts, but complex and enjoyable throughout. Worth a sample, especially if you can get this without trekking to Catalonia!

Negra opaca de apenas espuma, que desaparece absolutamente. Potente aroma tostado, notas ahumadas y bastante café. En boca mucho cuerpo, en un tono licórico sin exagerar. Sabor ahumado, recuerdo a tabaco y predominio de chocolate bien equilibrado. Final más licórico donde se hace más patente el calor alcohólico, en un postgusto de rico chocolate amargo.
