bottle - Pours near black with a one finger tan head and a decent roast aroma. The flavor is rich roast malt and coffee. The body is medium to full and finishes moderately bitter. It’s a pretty solid stout.

Aroma is caramel, yeast and floral. Brown color with ruby hilites. Beige head that lacked retention. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor is malt, floral, almost chocolate notes. The finish is low level roasted malt and a very light bitter. Drinks very well.

Bottle: Poured a clear burgundy color ale with a big foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of medium sweet malt is somewhat bland. Taste is a mix between some medium sweet malt with some notes of caramel and mild fruity yeast. Body is about average with some average carbonation.

This ale poured a dark red colour with a tan rocky head. To the nose you could smell scents of sugary malts, beef gravy and caramel. First taste was thin and watery with flavours of very light malt and mineralized water. Slight metallic flavour, not bad but there. The finish is thin and malty but thats about it. Not bad but lacking in flavour depth. Ther palate is malt and thats it.

Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized fluffy white head. Aroma is vegetables, grass and slightly white bready notes. Flavour is fruits, earth and some wheat. Watery and not that exciting.

0.5 l bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black body with small-medium head. Aroma of coffee, some minor floral hops, too. Flavor very full, dry, with lot of coffee, very bitter brew. Long finish with bitter coffee again on tongue top. Quite interesting and full bodied stout which you drink slowly, but not so good for my taste.
