5/10
Pool pudelist oli välja lekkinud, aga no ticki saab vähemalt kätte... magus, mõru, väga kuiv, alkone, väga tanniiinine, puidune, tammene. Selle kohta võiks vist öelda, et hea näide miks kauem vaadis ei ole automaatselt parem, liialt intesiivne.

Can at home. Second time having this, last time I didnt quite like it, now it’s coming together nicely. It’s all there, dried fruits, jammy fruits, pine, some grass, light booze, neat balance between sweet and bitter. Big, thick and chewy bodied, but still easy to drink. Glad I gave it a second chance.

Bottle at home. Pours jet black with a quickly dissipating head. Nose is some coffee, some vanilla, some molasses and other dark sugars. The taste follows in similar fashion, the coffee is quite muted, some of it is definitely gone by now, and what’s left is turning peppery too. It’s quite sweetish too, syrupy. The body is medium at best, leaning towards thinnish, with a dryish, emptyish finish.

Bottle at home, this has been packaged almost 3 years ago… and it kinda shows. Some of the additions have faded away and some oxidization shows for sure, it’s got some umami notes to it. Oherwise the coffee’s still there, and so is the cacao. The body is lightish to medium at max, some hints of higher alcohols also show

Bottle from the cellar, 3 years old by now. Welp, this was a mistake; not sure how the beer has been fresh(er), but it’s way past its zenit now. Almost no barrel to speak of, the base beer is extremely mid, the body is thinnnnnn. Ouch

33cl can, BB 24/04/2025.
Brune au col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme est léger sur le malté caramel, céréales, pointe toasté avec une note de baies noires en réttro-nasal.
Palais sur un effet de drêche - céréales avec une note de torréfaction avec une note de cacao en fin de bouche et une fine douceur de vanille qui perce. Je note aussi un côté rootbeer avec racine de sasafras - masi aussi léger sur le cassis et la mûre. Houblonné floral et amer en fin de bouche.

Can from Mr. Hop. Aroma is cocoa, roasted malt, coconut, chocolate, some candied (dark) fruity and syupy-sugary notes, cold coffee. Flavour is sweet with some tartness and a good roasty bitterness in the finish. Body is medium to full. Sweet and tart-ish Chocolate Stout with coconut and candied aromas, different and satisfying.

Fast receding cream-beige head over reddish black-brown beer. Caramel, molasses @ pouring; chalk, sweet roast. Bread with cassonade sugar. Liquorice, intense at onset, in the end followed by some roast and some less specific sweetness. Cardboard, syrupy breadspread. Warming up a bit, finally a very modeste acidity lends some cautious depth. Bit sticky, yet only medium bodied at best; soft carbonation and creaminess, indeed referring to the rye. BLACK: yes, it is, NEW ENGLAND, since that means opaque, OK. But this is as much IPA as Pepsi would be IPA. Such a shame, as judicious choice of hops can make black IPA wonderful. Txs to Stef!
