Can shared at home, courtesy of Tomi. Pours a semi-clear, lighter copper with an off-white head. Nose is malty, herbal and earthy. Taste is moderately bitter, herbal and earthy with a grassy touch. Bitterish finish, light body and soft to average carbonation. Nothing to write home about, but lacks any major flaws too.

Bottle at home from a random Globus. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is roasted malts, earthy and dark chocolate notes, light tannins. Taste is roasty, earthy, dark chocolatey with a hint of coffee. Moderately bitter and somewhat tannic. Light bodied with a soft carbonation. Chuggable.

Can at home from Jumbo. Poured hard, so the head is spectacular, foamy, and it lasts quite long. Nose is dark malts, light roast, sweet wort. Taste is astrigent, roasty, but also got that worty sweetness going on that lasts well into the finish and ruining drinkability a tad. The body is light, very light, leaning towards watery, and the carbonation is virtually non-existent, so obviously it drinks pretty easy. Not the best dark NA I've had, but I'm not that big of a fan of the classic Draught either, so there's that. All in all it's decent stuff and I'm pretty happy to see the NA offering become more and more wide tbh.

Smell is of roasted malt, dark chocolate, little bit fruity, has sweet and bitter notes.
Taste is roasted malt, some dark chocolate, hints of dark fruit, semi sweet with some bitterness.
Good mouthfeel, quite the good 5.6% abv Stout.
