4.4 Minimalist brown collar on a black still body. Big aroma of malt, Christmas cake & whisky. Full bodied, smooth, silky & oily with a clean back. Liquorice, malt, whisky, vanilla, molasses & hints of cherry with a tangy boozy finish. Outstanding
4.0 Thanks to SimonTomlinson. Black appearance. Aroma is coffee and roasted. Flavour is coffee, liquorice, sweet, roasted and chocolate.
4.2 Aroma of chocolate, mild coffee and caramel Very small head with pitch black colour Great taste of coffee, caramel, bourbon, and a hint of alcohol Smooth oily mouthfeel with little to no carbonation Extraordinary beer
4.2 Very dark beer without head. Smell of roasted caramel and dark chocolate. Taste of burned figs, chocolate and coffee, very balanced but also very intens taste experience. A hint of bourbon in the aftertaste. Great.
4.4 Incredible. Deep veins of dark chocolate, molasses, roast, vanilla, oak, anise, caramel, cherry, and espresso, backed up by a gorgeous bourbon finish, with baking spice and wood and booze leading to a warm, fuzzy fade. Another superior stout from HF’s O.R.I.S. family. They’re all amazing. All of ‘em.
4.0 35.5cl fles. Helder donker bruin van kleur, fijne romige bruine schuimkraag. De geur is whisky en vanille. Smaak is zoet, koffie, whisky en vanille. Vol body en veel koolzuur.
3.9 Chocolate and whiskey aroma. Shiny black body, dark brown head. Surprisingly malty taste, some chocolate, not getting much whiskey barrel or booze heat. Smooth palate, overall pretty good.
1.3 Too sweet, too heavy, too high in ABV & WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. It's best drank in their Beer Shake.
4.2 16oz bottle share at We Brought Beer, Balham. Black with a brown head. Aroma of molasses, liquorice, rum and cocoa. Super thick and full and lovely bitter sweet flavour.
4.0 A 22 fl. oz. bomber with no clear bottled on or best before date. Poured into a snifter glass. It was dark brown to black in colour with a very thin brown head that disappeared almost immediately and left only sparse lacing. Aromas of whiskey, roasty, chocolate, with hints of oak, molasses and vanilla. Tastes of sweet bourbon whiskey, roasty, chocolate, molasses, and oak, with notes of vanilla and caramel and maybe even some char. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Overall, although perhaps a little sweet for me, the roast and chocolate did mostly balance it out for me, and it was still an enjoyable sipper.
4.3 Bottle at home. Sweet deep roasted chocolate malts, thick sugary sweetness, molasses, oats and almondmilk, beaverskin, coffee, cinnamon, roasted coconut and palm sugar, some distant christmas pudding, peat and quite some whiskey. Full sweetness and bitterness. Is it the sweetness that burns or is there some actual spiciness? (Ghostly whispering: “We’ll never knoww”). Full body and soft carbonation. It’s thick, it’s rich, it’s burnt and it feels milky soft. Very decadent and very nice.
4.0 bottle drank on Steph's 33rd bday Indy 2019. Dark oil thick dark brown head good retention. Aromas wood, smoke, olive, chocolate, whiskey slight alcohol, roast. Flavors vanilla, wood, roast slight smoke, slight olive, alcohol mildly in the nose, toffee, caramel. High sweetness medium bitter finish that lends a medium astringent bite. In the world of great double stouts this one is good but there are so many comparable ones to this level it doesn't go the extra mile to be memorable.
