Appearance is very black with not much of a head, however a ring hung around throughout the experience.

The nose is very good. Dark fruits are very apparent with dark chocolate.

Taste begins with dark fruit; moves into a dark chocolate and finishes quite boozy. Feel the warmth in the chestI can see this mellowing if cellared.

Mouthfeel is somewhat thick.

Due to the hight ABV this is certainly not a session brew and drinkability is having one of these every now and then.

11-1-2-12 - Cellared this one for a year and must say could have cellared a bit longer. The alocohol is still very prevelant and must say it has a somewhat freshness to it. The appearance was dark brown almost black with a chocolate head ring which hung around. The nose is of milk chocolate and dark fruit, prunes possibly. The taste is like a chocolaty expresso mix and the mouthfeel is a medium. Overall this is a solid stout. Was interested to see if the alcohol would mellow after a year and it didn't. Have to cellar another for a longer period to see how it mellows. Still a very good stout.

Serving type: bottle
