look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Pours a slightly thin black which almost hints at turning brown around the edges but never quite gets there. Solid head and lacing. Yeast chunks at the bottom fail to appetise.

Smell is yeasty with very prominent notes of aniseed. Get a bit of welcome sour yoghurt. Some carob. Dark fruits. Almost funky, manurey. Roast.

I feel taste is an improvement on aroma. Solid milk/yoghurt, some chocolate, dark fruits. Roast.

Mouthfeel is a little thin and astringent. I guess that's to be expected given the ABV.

This is a solid offering with a few flaws. Worth buying.

A - Dark, dark brown with a light brown foamy head.

S - Coffee, chocolate and hazelnut praline.

T - Very roasty but very sweet also. Mocha, nutty chocolate. Tasty after dinner.

M - Medium carbonation. Chalky, dusty body. Pretty well executed.

O - Yeah, it's pretty one dimensional but perhaps a good starter dark beer for newbs. Very accessible.

look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Pours black with a large, growing head.
Nose shows chocolate, roasted malt and nutty notes.
Flavours focus mainly on 1-dimensional roasted malt, but include some sweetness, presumably from lactose.
Too highly carbonated.
Not bad, but a bit too sweet and plain.

Pours a very dark kola hue which leaves a three finger bubble laden khaki head and lacing everywhere,the smell is dark cocoa,roasted malts,a touch of coffee and herbal hops,the mouthfeel is medium bodied and taste starts off sweet with hints of dark cocoa,mocha,roasted malts and finished with a herbal bitterness and overall its above average and easy enough to drink but nothing memorable cheers.
