#1720 - Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)…
L- Pitch black, even held up by a halogen bulb ne'er a photon gets through it. Pours with a 2mm mid-tan cap. ps 10mins later that has cleared to a thin ring of bubbles on the side.
S- That coffee/cocoa aspect... more coffee I think.
T- Toasty, major coffee with hints of smoke, reminds me of log ashes in a fireplace the morning after a good fire. There is a suggestion of solid ABV% too, 'that zing' on the palate, that combines well with decent hopping.
F- Pungent, it certainly has some richness but isn't risking morphing into a sweet facet yet. Overall it's pretty pungent so a slip-sipping' beer for me. The beer feels as if it has the beginnings a viscosity, IME this usually results from dissolved 'sugars'.
O- It's a very big roasty/toasty stout(?). I'd guess the ABV% as 8%. It's ok, it has a statement flavour but as it's warming somewhat now it's becoming a bit sweeter than I typically choose to buy.
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the can lable to see what I missed! ==> No surprises, no adjuncts, no added coffee, all preditable/trad ingredients (that's a +ve for me by the way!).
