Not a bad dry stout. Fairly thick body and the head lasts a very long time. Some smoke in the aroma as well as bitter chocolate and coffee. What one would expect a dry stout to be.

Bottle: Dark copper coloured, mid-sized lacing head; malty, vinous nose with a strong musty touch, cloves and molasses too; mild bitter-sweet flavour; short, malty, dry alcoholic finish, with molasses again; drinkable, but pretty boring and unpleasant because of the combination of cloves and malts........

Pour is a jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is slightly malty but i have to use my imagination to find it. The first sip you notice how silky and smooth it is. Flavor is coffe and chocolate but very watered down. Looks good but that’s where the good part about this ends.

(on tap) Dark, almost black colour with a nice small but stable creamy beige head. Not much aroma except a touch of roasted malts. Nutty roastmalty taste with dark chocolate and a dry and bitter finish. Not bad at all but way too light bodied Stout.

Can. Malt and metallic aroma. Amber color with moderate head. Slightly sweet malt initially followed by a dry hops finish. A bit light - nothing offensive - probably better in bottle or tap.
