Bottle from Stacks. Cloudy black, quickly thinning, beige head. Strong aroma of iron at first but disappearing in favour of fondant, espresso, vanilla bean, date, pear, wood, tobacco, bourbon, pecan. Taste has sweet dried fig, date and blackberry in a thick fondant-like & pecan-nutty malt base enhanced by bitter espresso and a hint of vanilla. Peppery hoppy finish offers a spicy note (as of perhaps), dried fruits, wood, coffee & warming bourbon alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. A heavy yet delicious late late-night sipper.

Batch 351. Glossy black, fine creamy brown head. Smells roast, plenty rye whiskey, some sharp coffee. Creamy body, nice thickness, low carbed, boozy. Taste is lots of rye, bit spicy, also spicy coffee. Good deal of roast too, on the bitter side. Tasty.

Bottle. Black with a modest and fading brown head. 3+ Aroma of roast and mocha, some spiced buns, vanilla. Brooding. Silky with low carbonation. Not all that sweet (certainly relative to their Tumeaine) with whiskey coming through at the end to sweep away bittersweet coffee, spiced buns, good chocolate, pralines. Then after a while the medium roast coffee is there again. Big but kind of delicate. Really good.

Bottled 330ml (Piwne Mosty)
Opaque dark brown colour, tiny brownish head. Toasted coffee and vanilla in the nose, maybe some rye spiceyness. Medium to full-bodied. Semi-sweet with vanilla and toffee, coffee is not dominant in the toasted malty flavour. Well-made whiskey BA stout, no suprises but sippable.

Taster at home courtesy of Sander, big thanks. black color, small coffee colored head. smells soy sauce, vanilla, bit smoky, earthy. ok smell, not that exciting. full body, light carbonation. tastes of whisky, some sweetness, vanilla, earthy, hints of smoke, molasses, bit nutty, bit peppery. finishes sweet with notes of molasses and vanilla. hmm, smooth, for me almost too smooth, not much going on here, barrel notes are drowned out by the sweetness, rather boring.

-1 point for the hateful wax. Pours like concentrated coffee with no head but a beige rim for a few seconds. Smells like sweet coffee, strong but heavily sugared, bit of vanilla. Dry-bitterish, cold but good chocolatey coffee. Very light stout acidity, very light vanilla. Balance achieved! Punch, again one of the 'iron fist in velvet glove' kind. Alcoholheat, mild carbonation, viscous and chewy. This kind of stout - any day.
