Bottle : Poured a deep black color stout with a quite large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light lactose notes with dry roasted malt and herbal hops. Taste is a weird mix between some roasted malt with notes of herbal hops and light residual sugar notes as well. Body is about average with good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Not bad but hops presence doesn't really balance with the rest of the taste.

Shared this with my wife with our supper, Asian chicken drumsticks, mashed potatoes and asparagus.
Poured from a 500ml. bottle.
Appearance: Immense mocha colored foam that looks like a cascading brown waterfall. Looks really nice. The head just sits there and barely moved. Body looks pitch black but it is more brown as seen by the pour.
Smell: Bitter a bit with dark chocolate with a whiff of liquor, or is it oak? Roasted coffee is thrown in there for good measure.
Taste: Very bitter through and through though it does subside a little. Chocolate with coffee and some fruit hidden in there. Figs and raisins become more apparent as it warms.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation is a bit aggressive at first but the body is rather solid though not as full as per the style. A bit boozy at times though it smooths out as it warms.
Drinkability & Overall: Though i kind of liked it, i struggled through my half as i found it a bit heavy and the bitterness does get to you. Still, it's a decent stout and nothing is really flawed. EDIT: As it warmed, it was easier to drink and the alcohol heat was lessened so i bumped it up half a point.
