330ml bottle at 7.5%. Pours jet black with a medium head. Aroma is smooth roast, beefy and yeasty. Taste is heavy on the beef, with roast yeast. A little oily in the finish. Tasty brew.

12 oz. bottle, sent from wilco (thanks Mike), listed at 8.8% ABV, pours solid black with a medium tan head. Aroma is quite chocolatey, light roast, slight metallic notes and subtle coffee. Flavour of chocolate, metallic bitter coffee, low roast, with more cocoa notes coming in toward the finish. Very thin palate for a stout (especially one at near-9%). Drinkable and nothing offensive, but misses the mark in terms of body and complexity. Muffled flavours that make it seem like this isn't the intended flavour profile. I don't understand the high rating on this one at all.

33cl bottle (8,8%) from Kihoskh. Pours dark brown, almost black with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Sweet, but well balanced. Well integrated alcohol. Nice stout! (2012-04-14)

625 ml Bottle reviewed on it’s best before date (Sep 2011). I was really impressed, this looked, smelled and tasted like a good quality Stout. Lovely velvety looks, those rich, smooth malty aromas of roasted and toasted barley just carried on into the mouth. Chocolate and mild Coffee flavours linger in the mouthfeel as the brew level slips slowly down the glass. One of the simpleist and best tasting Stouts I’ve had, ever.
