Sampled at Borefts Beer Festival 2019, day 1. Opaque dark brown to black color, average sized light brown colored head. Smell and taste both have heavy tonka bean influence, hardly anything you can taste, malts and some roastiness yes but the tonka dominates. Too much for me.

Pitch black, small mocha head. The aroma dry and funky, a little yeasty, some roast grains but mostly green fruit / walnut skin / pedio tartness almost completely obscuring the malts. UPD. Some really sweet, dark plum / molasses notes start to appear. The tartness is much more like green fruit than infection by now. Taste: big rich dark malt / treacle sweetness, sweet rich prunes, quite a bit of tart winey notes, as well as fruit seed nutty astringency and funk. No strong roast / burned grains or hop bitterness. Quite peculiar, though certainly distinct and interesting.

330ml bottle from a trade (thanks Neil). Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of roast malts, coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is sweet, very roasty, coffee, dark chocolate, molasses, liquorice, hints of leather and tobacco, bittersweet and boozy finish. Full bodied, smooth. Really well balanced and excellent stout.

Hazy palest straw, white head. Big white grapefruit and pineapple, you can also feel the lats behind are big, very little alcohol. Intense hop juice taste with a hearty pale tropical fruit sweetness and big bit soft pithy / piney bitterness. A very good heavy hop juice.
