UPDATED: JUN 11, 2021 Slick black. Bitter with anise, floral hops, chocolate cake, vanilla and booziness. Very long finish. Moderately full body. Alcohol overwhelms

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2020 Oily pitch black pour with no head. Robust stout aroma with deep cocoa, syrupy cola and slightly acidic coffee, vanilla too. Quite low carbonation, light airy mouthfeel, finishes dry. Flavor has toasty campfire malts with acidic syrupy cola and strong vanilla. Robust stout with good balance of flavors.

UPDATED: NOV 24, 2020 It pours black with a dark brown head. head retention is very good and the beading is very tight. It has a strong initial coffee aroma. There is a low level of vanilla with hints of marshmallows. It has a combination of coffee and chocolate with a low vanilla element. There are also a very low level of dark fruits in the background. It has a full body with pleasant alcohol warming. The after taste has more of a marshmallow texture and flavor than the rest of the tasting experience. Overall, I like the bitterness and roasted coffee and chocolate flavors. There are complex flavors with the vanilla and dark fruit elements. To me, it's more of an enhanced imperial stout than an actual pastry stout.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2020 Can at home. Roasted malts, grainy, bit of umami, pure choc, vanilla. Quite bitter, bit alcoholic. Purchased at Consumer's Beverages

UPDATED: OCT 19, 2020 Rum, vanilla, charred oak nose. Black, thin beige head. Charred oak, vanilla, dark chocolate. Full body, easy carbonation.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2020 Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde. Cloudy black with a thin, beige head. Intense & enticing aroma of coffee roast, chicory, wet earth, chestnut, fig jam, toast, kahlua, marshmallow, milk chocolate, fondant, treacle, raw vanilla. Taste has very sweet candied fig, raisin, fudge & marshmallow but perfectly in balance, nuttiness leads the way into a bitter middle of coffee roast, toast, earth & dark chocolate, powdery effect with a vague edge of umami soy. Earthy hoppy finish, dry & powdery with lots of coffee roast & fondant, subtle vanilla hint along with the marshmallow but remaining restrained, if not a bit overpowered by heating kahlua-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Big & sweet Pastry Stout but complex & not renouncing the 'modern' hoppy standards. Ridiculously good, but in my memory the Pecan Mud Cake was even better.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2020 Nalewa się czarne, z ciemnobeżową pianą. W zapachu sporo kawy, trochę wanilii, po jakimś czasie wychodzi lekka słodycz. W smaku dalej raczej dominuje kawa, dosyć gładkie, całkiem sporo kawnej paloności w posmaku. Spoko ale spodziewałem się, że dodatki bardziej wyjdą.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2020 Quarantine Beer #126 sampled at home on 05/10/2020. Brown-black pour with a medium tan head that recedes steadily to a dense film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of malt, marshmallow and chocolate. Full-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, sweet marshmallow and chocolate. The finish is roasty with a chocolate-covered marshmallow aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

UPDATED: AUG 11, 2020 0.1l tap. Murky dark brown almost black with a big mocha coloured creamy head. Burnt and light smoky malt, lime, liquorice, toffee, caramel, nougat and fudge, vanilla, also some grilled marshmallows in the background. Roasty toasty bitterness, fudge sweetness. Full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, long roasty bittersweet finish. Nice!
