12oz bottle at my Son-in-Laws (California) on 25th Jan 2017. Very dark, OK, it’s black; difficult to get any sort of head, even when I poured robustly. Mint aroma and initial taste, the dark chocolate bit creeps in a little later. I was supposed to share the bottle, but my Son-in-Law is not one for trying different beers and after one sip gave me his half of the bottle. Interesting beer, but the one small bottle is enough for me.

Bottle. Buttery toffee malt, light alcohol, and fresh hay aroma. Dark amber with moderate head. Moderately sweet nutty toffee malt and moderately bitter quinine/fresh hay flavor. Good body - finishes a bit boozy.

Huge, thick beige head over virtually black beer. Chocolate, bit of coffee. Voluminous head hampers the perception. Bit earthy, also paint, autumn leaf, toffee. Chocolate, mocha, coffee, spicy. Chilliheat arrives nearly as an afterthought, but keeps hanging after a while. Faintly smoked, capsicum. Seems well-bodied for a relatively light stout. Very well-carbonated. Not bad, drinkable despite the chilli.

Sehr minziger Geruch. Spritzig, im Antrunk ist Minze erkennbar, das Malz gerät in den Hintergrund. Geringe Bitterkeit. Aufdringlich. 10/8/9/8/10/8

Bottle: Nearly clear, dark amber with a small beige head. Slightly spicy/woody caramel malt, maybe a little blood orange in the aroma? Flavour is sweet caramel malt, orange malt, a little pine with a mild citrus-peel bitter. Bright and lively...... One of the better Ambers I’ve had in a while.
