Can at home. Opaque black color, full sized brown colored head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, soft coffee notes. Flavor is malts, roast, some iron, dark malts, nicely bitter. Lovely. A straightforward RIS that's simply just good. In a world of adjuct stouts this is a sigh of relief and joy. Delicious.

Can at Dok19. Opaque black color, average sized light brown colored head. Aroma is malts, sweetish malty so to speak, would've thought up front I'd be more roasty and dark malty but none of that at all tbh. However, despite the previous notes, it's not an overly sweet pastry stout. Although perhaps a tad on the sweet side, it's a fairly straightforward RIS that's actually very balanced, quite soft and creamy. Lightly malty bitter in the background. Very pleasant I must admit.

Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 9

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Opaque black color, small dark brown colored head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, roast. Flavor is malts, dark malts, roast, peat but not too heavy. Very balanced so the peat is actually an addition to the beer. As it had been so many times, this is so incredibly well executed. Crazy.
