Bottle 500ml (BBE 01/2015, ABM)
Dark brown color, good steady brownish head. Sticky aroma has ash, licorice, rye bread. Medium-bodied. Ashy, dark malty with some licorice. Bitter, harsh aftertaste. With its ashy-burned, bitter flavor, it is a bit unbalanced for my taste. Probably when it is fresh, hops taste better here.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared by Dutchdrebus. Opaque dark brown to black color, full sized decently lasting rough slightly brown head that leaves fair lacing. Aroma is malts, light to moderately hoppy, lightly roasty, slightly iron. Taste malts, lightly hops, roasted malts, bitter. Hmm quite nice: malts, dark and roasted malts mixed with some hops. Decently lasting roasty hoppy aftertaste. Medium body and carbonation. Pretty damn nice! Well balanced!!

Almost opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is airy and fairly dry. Modest fine carbonation, Roasty but thin dark malts, some roast bitterness. Touch of dry dark chocolate, the high cacao kind. Mild dark malt cream, dry. Finishes dry and roasty bitter. Not bad, needs something to elevate it from the dark dryness.

500ml bottle shared with Ashton McCobb, Cheers Ash! Pours black with a fading tan head. Aromas of liquorice and tar, dark chocolate. Taste is cocoa bitter, then a hit of hop bitterness. More a bitter dry stout than a Black IPA.

50cl bottle thanks to David. Appearance - like a coffee with a big frothy crema head. Nose - liquorice into tar. Taste - loads of liquorice, mountain herbs. Booze. Palate - medium to full bodied with a big boozy middle section that then leads into a finish that lasts for ages and eventually dries out. Overall - this is delicious but style-wise this is a hopped dry stout, in my opinion.
