Pours pitch black . Decent white head . Coffee burnt aroma . Tastes smooth , medium body ,. Well balanced
This is one of the best stouts I have tried. Its appearance,aroma, taste,I give it high marks.
Bottle (4,8%).Dark with small head. Aroma is very coffee-like. Taste is roasted (burned?) coffee, waterish and a bit carbonated. Bitterness and sweetness in the tail. Decent stout but not the best.
Dark brown color, small brown head. Aromas of roasted malt, oats, chocolate and berries. Bitter taste with chocolate, roasted malt, licorice and citrus.
With brownies

Gravity Cask Half Pint at Battersea Beer Festival, London in Feb 2010 - Black in colour. Malty; roast malts, caramel, some chocolate. Fruity; some dark fruits. Sweet roast fruity malty throughout. Easy drinking. (2010-02)
Pours black with a strong tan head. Creamy coffee nose. Burnt malt, smoke, just a hint of chocolate. A somewhat coarse palate. Medium body, not too light, not too heavy. An agreeable if not stunning stout.
Provad på Haket i Göteborg under Otto Lundells förnämliga porter- och stoutpresentation. Min 4000:e öl som jag bokfört sedan april 1985. En promenadstout med återhållsam alkoholstyrka. Mörk torr choklad. Lite rostade kaffetoner. Överraskande att havre och vete finns med i mäskkaret. Väntade ett tag med att provsmaka för att få upp temperaturen några grader. En angenäm jubileums-stout.

330ml bottle from Systembolaget. Near the black with a creamy beige head, good lacing. Sweet and slightly tart notes in the aroma, coffee, creamy milk chocolate, red berries and vanilla. Silky mouthfeel, medium-bodied, mild carbonated. Roasted and chalky taste, coffee, bitter cocoa, dark chocolate, oats and grains. Bitter finish.
Bottle. Black with a huge light brown head. Roasted malt aroma with notes of chocolate, cocoa and dark fruit. Flavour is slightly malty sweet with some chocolate and a roasted malty bitter finish along with a slight citrussy freshness. Above medium carbonation. Decent, but nothing worth going for again.
Pour black liquid with a big, foamy brown and creamy head. Aroma is roasted barley, coffee and malt. Taste is slightly bitter with coffee presence. Overall good, but rather regular british stout.
Bottle. Pours a near black body with a creamy tan head. Looks good! Earthy aromas with malts and chocolate. Moderate roasty profile. Hints of liquorice. Taste is fairly roasty with notes of chocolate and malt. A fair bitterness to round it off. Nice mouthfeel despite the low abv. Avg co2 levels.
SB Oskarshamn, flaska. Skummar fint. Nån bismak i aromen. Mörk choklad/kaffe.
Mycket stout lite porter. Ahhh apelsinskal...Vegansk öl fyck PK. Köttöl nästa.
Flaska från SB. Svart med högt, fluffigt brunt skum. Lätt rökiga och brända toner tillsammans med en aning apelsin. Len kropp, något lättare. Syrliga rostade toner som lämnar en del kaffebeska i eftersmaken.
Bottle. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of roast and malt, with touches of coffee and mill chocolate. Bitter, roasty flavour with estery and malty notes and touches of coffee, lactose and hops. Roasty and estery aftertaste. Reasonable.
Bottle, 4.8%. Fruity aroma, has a little paint thinner to it. Almost black colour, seems clear. Big stable light brown head. The flavour is roasted and creamy to begin worth. Turns more bitter with a coffee note and a touch of sourness.
Bottle from Old Shambles Tavern in York.
Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fluffy fawn head.
Nose - dark chocolate digestive biscuits.
Taste - more of the same. A touch of toffee and honeycomb too.
Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long balanced dry finish.
Overall - a really tasty stout.
Tasting at home. Bottle shared by me. Begint lekker maar als je m door je mond laat gaan is ie beetje rubberig en gruizig. Backlog from 2015/10/21.
Flaske 330ml fra Systembolaget Kiruna. Delt med Rune på Nerstranda 24 Okt 15. Svart. Middels høyt kremaktig skum med litt farge. Lacing. God aroma av melkesjokolade. Smaken er sjokolade & litt røyk. Et behagelig øl.
(Bottle) Black colour with rocky, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, black rye bread, roasted oats and a touch of orange peel. Roasted, malty taste with dark chocolate, black rye bread, liquorice, coffee, orange peel and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and well balanced stout. Nice one.
Första intryck är chokladig, men efter en liten stund framstår den som en aning tunn.
Look; beige layer, black body. Aroma; roasted malts, dark malts, cocoa liquorice, leaves and coffee notes. Taste; dark roasted malts, dark caramel, leaves, grass, cocoa, liquorice notes - leading to a dark chocolate finish . On palate nice with ok body and soft carbonation. Overall; nice n easy.

330ml bottle shared by Finn. Good looking white a stable tan-coloured head to a jet black body. Sold lacework. Roasted dark malty aroma dominated by chocolate. Mid-sweet taste of dark chocolate and cocoa followed by roasted bitterness towards the ending. A bit creamy in the mouth. A tasty, well made stout (Tromsø 24.10.2015).
Bottle thanks to Sjogro. Black with fluffy beige head. Old coffee, roasted nuts, cocoa beans, mineral, light rubber, light herbs and ash. Light sweet and roasted bitter finish. Under medium bodied with slick feel and low carbonation. Ok.
