Bottle at home, 16th October 2021. Pours black and slick. Aroma is liquorice, candy and coffee. Taste is rich, bittersweet, caramel, coffee, salted liquorice and a little chilli heat and red pepper in the finish. I like it

33cl bottle, shared with Vincent and Isa - 15€ the bottle - hmmm yeah sure, glad it was shared.
Bottle# 2218, BB 21/07/2025.
Brune foncée, léger filament huileux au verre, col léger blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet malté complexe - très anglais - note fumée bcp plus que sur l'apport du piment lui-même. Mélasse, sucre candi et fruits noirs.
Palais reste très axé dans une approche anglaise du gros stout impérial - il faut oublier le côté US. Malt pâle, cara, petite touche fumée de l'ajout des piment chipotle mais ici quais aucune trace du caractère pimenté. Palais est épais avec une effervescence moyenne voire faible - note de mélasse, cacao léger. Rétro léger sur les fruits noirs - raisins secs, mûres, figue.
Correcte - mais ne vaut pas les 15€. Ca reste un bon gros stout anglais, de belle facture - nous nous sommes peut-être faits avoir par le 'jedi mind trick'.

Bottle shared in Watford - cheers to Dave. Pours black-brown with a small, frothy beige head. Medium sweet, big smoked malts, some light spice, brown bread, very slight earthy bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish, a little chilli spice, cocoa, red pepper, light roast. Basic but not bad.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Pours a thin looking dark brown. Fine tan head. Nose has a De Molen-esque smoked malt vibe. Some coffee notes. Some charred pepper. Taste is dry and lightly bitter with a smoked meat sweetness. Lacks depth for a big hitter. Fine carbonation. Smoky bittersweet finish. Lesson learned.
