Black liquid; purple at the edge when held to the light.
Nice dark khaki head which dissipates but doesn't disappear. Strong lacing.
Strong hop profile, oddly; coffee underneath. Smells like a Black IPA.
Light mouthfeel.
The lactose sugars come out a bit in the taste, but this is very hoppy for such a dark beer.
In a blind taste-test I would probably guess Black IPA-thankfully without the 'pickle juice' flavor they tend to have.
I'd have another.

2012 vintage that got lost in the cellar.
Aroma is roast malt dominant, coffee-like, with a creamy lactose sweetness.
Flavor is similar. Big roast malt presence in the malt backbone, with a light sweetness that counters the bitter finish nicely. There's a hint of dark fruit/sherry beginning to emerge. This could age well for another couple years.

I know I have sampled things from this distant brewer before, but I don't remember any being worthy of great effort to find again. We are 3/4 of a continent away by land. But this one travels well.
It has the usual look with a little less head than I would like - I had to pour the end straight down to get some fizz, which did not last long. The aroma is nice sweet strangely floral scent that works.
The taste is a nice sweetness that doesn't coddle the drinker. It has almost no harshness, and the initial taste is all creamy, but it just cuts a deep swath down the middle of the road. It's hard to explain. It seems balanced, but everything is pronounced.
This is a very good stout, and better than anything I remember having from this brewer. Well done, but over-priced.
