Aus der Flasche (bbe 01.06.2027) im 2026-02 getrunken. Dieses schwarze Stout mit dunkelbrauner Schaumkrone ist ein wahres Schokoladen-Monster. Der kräftige Körper und ein feine Süße unterstützt die 60%ige Schokoladen Aromen. Alles wie auch der eingebundene Alkoholgehalt ist einfach perfekte Handwerkskunst. Toll!

Near opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth, airy and a very slightly viscous palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, dark and slightly salty toffee, a touch of malt cream. Big ripe fruity whiskey, rich and ripe and layered. Chestnut barrel? Well there is a bit of nuttyness in amongst the rich BA fruitiness. Some alcohol spice. Smooth finish. A rich and ripe fruity ba barleywine.

Weicher, intensiv schokoladig-malziger Beginn. Cremig, viel Kakao, etwas Kokos, Chili kann ich nicht erkennen, weder schmeckt das Bier gemüsig noch ist Schärfe erkennbar. Cremig bleibend, vollmundig, Bitterschokolade. Lecker! 10/12/10/11/12/11

(Bottle) Brownish black colour, no head. Malty, roasty, vinous nose with chocolate, coffee, oak wood, carrot cake, treacle, cinnamon and vanilla. Malty, roasty, vinous, sweet taste with notes of oak wood, dark chocolate, strong black coffee, carrot cake, cardamom, treacle, cinnamon, coconut, vanilla and a balanced cacao bitterness in a sweetish finish. Full body, sweet. On the sweet and boozy side, but really rich and powerful. Very nice.
