Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque black color, medium sized dark brown colored head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, peat, brown malts. Flavor is malts, brown malts, slightly softer peat notes and moderately bitter. Medium to full body, suitable medium carbonation. Very solid I'd say.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque dark brown to black color, no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, roasty a bit, liquorice, rum I guess, though I wouldn't have guessed it probably. A bit flat, but solid body. Alright.

Bottle from Stacks. Cloudy black, no head. Aroma of chocolate sauce, dark fudge, brown sugar, dried banana, pear, vanilla, rum. Taste has sweet banana, pear & date in a dark-chocolatey, brown-sugary, vanilla-ish malt body with some phenolic notes. Soft herbal hops in the finish, very chocolatey (pralines with liqueur), warming liqueur- & rum-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Sharp rum is present but not too boozy. Good.

Bottle from Hopduvel. Cloudy black, stable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of cognac, wood, fondant (sauce), leather, shoe polish, teriyaki. Taste has sweet fig, prune & pear in a thick dark-chocolatey, pecan-nutty malt body with a hint of umami black olive and early cognac. Soft earthy hops in the finish, lots of cognac present now, next to a woody effect and a touch of coffee. Not necessarily boozy cognac, but very dominant and battling with the malt profile. Full body, thin oily texture, soft carbonation. Another decent addition to Brambrass' BA range, but just slightly less well-structured.

Bottle from Stacks. Jet black, no head. Aroma of date, fig, chocolate sauce, espresso, bourbon, vanilla bean, pecan nut, black olive. Taste has sweet date, prune & fig in a thick dark-chocolatey & pecan-nutty malt body, touch of umami olive. Peppery hops in the finish, lingering dark chocolate, espresso, warming bourbon alcohol and by consequence another touch of vanilla. Full body, oily-creamy texture, soft carbonation. Luscious Stout, gentle bourbon (not much acetaldehyde which I generally experience).

Flaska från Hops’N More. Gyllengul disig vätska med lågt skum. Lite som en belgisk IPA med rejält med citrushumle med apelsinsmak: apelsinsaft, beska kryddigt oljiga apelsinskal. Ok utan att riktigt övertyga.

Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met schuim. Smaak is krachtig warm met veel cognac en bitterzoet. Verder nog wat druiven, wat vijgen en donker fruit om het af te maken. Voor mij een heel goed bier.

Bottle from Stacks. Hazy black, stable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of espresso, tobacco, chocolate sauce, black olive, salmiak, peated whisky, charred wood. Taste has sweetish raisin & brambleberry in a dark-chocolatey malt body; bitter 'caffè crema' along with umami salmiak & smoke in the middle. Peppery hops in the finish, pronounced coffee roast & fondant and warming peated whisky-like alcohol, establishing the smoky effect until the very end withouth overdoing it. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Another powerful Brambrass Stout.
