Smoke, coffee, some chewy graininess in the body.
Low carbonation, goed flat.
But it is easy drinking, pleasant and smooth, the very opposite of the nitro stouts. onlyrocknroll (220), Cork, Ireland

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 2, 2006 Aroma is minimal, but this may be due to the CAMRA member sittin next to me with a huge cigar, therss unexpected hop character what i do find. Taste is a mi of coffee, overly roasted malts, however the body is weak. Not bad wee stout however, that looks beatuiful when poured. TBone (6741), Pori, Finland

Almost opaque black, good steady brown head. Fruity, roasted aroma. Roasted, bitterish, burnt flavors also a bit chocolaty. Finishing quickly, a bit watery. Needs more generous hopping. Quite simple stout. sayravai (3731), Helsinki, Finland

Roasty, slightly sour aroma. Burned-malty, ashy flavor with faint licorice hints. Slicky, licoricey finish. Medium-bodied, quite thick, low-carbonated palate. A quite balanced and not watery stout, but not that interesting.
