Dark ruby with fast disappearing brownish foam head. Aroma is sweet malty, bit too sweet for me. Taste is similar, sweet. Long lasting bittersweet aftertaste, dry. (Velp 201209)

Pours a deep, nearly opaque dark-chocolate brown with a fairly thick dirty light tan head. Strong aroma fills the nose with roast malt, molasses and caramel plus hints of yeast and chocolate. Rich flavor has smoky, malty, molasses, caramel and yeasty tones - just plain scrumptious! Body seems a bit thin for a stout, but it has plenty of fizz and leaves a nice, smoky, slightly sweet finish. Don't clam up - open one of these!

Bottle: Poured a clear deep burgundy color ale with a giant size light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some sweet malt notes and a bread-like yeast is quite interesting. Taste is a complex mix between some liquorice, roasted malt and Belgian semi-sweet malt with notes of dry hops also noticeable and the influence of a Belgian style yeast strain cannot be denied. Very interesting and something I wouldn’t mind having regular access to.

Very dark brown colour (nearly black), with mediumsized brown head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Also some slight alcohol. Flavour is chocolate, roasted malts, licorace and slightly sweaty socks along with cookies. Pleasant!
