355ml bottle. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, creamy, fadinging, brown head. Chocolately and roasty, dark malty as well as slightly caramel malty and minimally spicy aroma, hints of dark chocolate, cocoa, some coffee, caramel, a touch of molasses, vanilla, whiffs of white pepper, pimento. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately and slightly roasty, dark malty, peppery spicy and slightly caramel malty, notes of dark chocolate, chocolate sauce, caramel, chili, pepper, pimento, hints of vanilla, molasses; slightly warming, alcoholic finish with minimally accumulating spiciness.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft to flat, creamy carbonation.
Rich and heavy, initially seemingly overspiced, finally fairly balanced but slightly disharmonious and heterogeneous nevertheless - still a tad too edgy after being cellared for several years.

2020 vintage (13.4% ABV) can shared at Zozo's. Huge, boozy chocolate bomb, showcasing caramel, molasses, intense, lovely coffee, roasted malts, dried fruits and even a touch of smoke here and there. Closes with a long lasting, sweet and sticky finish, has a full, thick body and soft carbonation. Great.

Can shared at Zozo's. Jet black pour, beige head. This one's bursting with coconut and I mean it's really packed with it, both in aroma and taste and it's just lovely. Apart from this there's coffee, molasses, booze, dried fruits, cocoa and hints of coffee. Medium to full bodied, somehow creamy and dry at the same time, but it sure does work. Nicely rounded, lovely beer.

Can from De Bierliefhebber. Lots of coconut in the aroma, with chocolate, roast, mocha, coffee, and a little alcohol. Firm bittersweet taste, full body. Tons more coconut, what a lovely aroma. Totally get my cocofix from this!

Bottle shared at the Ekstraliga beer share with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma of cocoa power, vanilla, chocolate, malty, nutty, slight chilli heat. Great body and loved the chocolate start however not a fan of the chilli heat.

Black with quick fading head. Layers of sweetness. I get the honey. There's some cocoa bitterness but overall it is very sweet.

2021 14%. Black and oily with decent head that fades after a while. The aroma is of milk chocolate and roasted peanuts which are surprisingly not part of the pastrification of this stout. It's roasted and has a solid bitterness. Really nutty. Rich. Boozy. Silky.
