Colour: very dark brown or perhaps actually black. From the top, the beer is topped with a pretty tall, light brown foam. Finely bubbly, stays on the surface of the drink for quite a long time, looks delicious.
Aroma: quite tangy, mildly tropical, campfire smoke, smokiness, smokiness, fruit, coffee. Very rich, inviting to taste.
Taste: it's chunky, again smoky, campfire smoke , coffee, smokiness, with fruit rather mainly dried plums. Very complex in flavour and at the same time changing the intensity of the individual components throughout. In the end, the smokiness becomes oily, bacon-like, in fact, the impression is as if a fatty film of bacon remains on the lips, the fruit is gone, only in the aroma, very interesting.
Bitterness quite pronounced, slightly flamed, by no means disturbing. Medium saturation, as appropriate.

Tried in Warsaw, Poland in Spring 2016:
A: Khaki colour head. Creamy and long lasting (it takes over 15{!} minutes to fully recede). Body is predictably an opaque black. Standard stout appearance, save for the stellar head retention.
Sm: Rich roasted barley, chocolate malt, cream, some harsh burnt sugars, dark malt sweetness. I dig the prominence of the roast.
Aromatic intensity is moderate.
T: I love the roastiness, but it doesn't gel as well with the chocolate & dark malt sweetness as would be ideal. The harshness of the slightly burnt sugars gets in the way alongside some coffee ground-redolent acidity (and even acridity). As a result, the balance is off...it needs more milk chocolate sweetness and soft creaminess.
Mf: The mouthfeel walks an awkward line between coarse/dry and smooth/wet, erring towards the former to its detriment. I love a dry roasty coarse stout, but you need softness and creaminess to balance it out - and that's absent here. Well if highly carbonated. Aptly medium-bodied.
To style, it's unrefreshing.
Could use some work, but I like that they didn't shy away from the coarseness and dryness that make stouts memorable. It's just a bit rough about the edges.
O: Drinkable, certainly. Its rare commitment to roasted barley alone endears me to it, because so many stouts fail to deliver that note - and that's the heart of the style. It has its flaws, but it approximates a classic stout to an extent even some of the best American and English breweries fail to ever compete with. Chalk it up to my personal love for roasted barley, if you like, but lads - this one is really worth a try.
Low B (3.53) / GOOD
