3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
It got a dark brown colour, with a thin, off-white head.
Aroma; Heavy on the malt, but it´s good; chocolate, roasted notes. A good fruity aroma aswell.
Flavour; Follows the nose, with chocolate, roast, and dark fruit flavour. It´s a good carbonation, even if I like the stouts alittle more creamy. The body is decent for a 4,7% beer.
Summary; A good beer in only 4,7%, maybe one of the best you can get in the supermarket in this style.
PS; Bottle is better than the can!

330 ml green bottle. Very dark reddish brown colour (not entirely black), fine tan head. Moderate but pleasant aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and wood. Soft and smooth mouthfeel. The roastiness in the flavour is very moderate for a stout, some coffee notes, there is also a noticeable fruitiness with a light acidity. Easy drinking. Not the greatest stout in the world, but a nice try from Aass.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. It looks quite nice, with a clear, dark brown body and a nice, beige head. The aroma is a bit weak, but the usual burnt, coffeish smell is present. Naming the beer Gourmet Stout calls for a more complex aroma. There’s some cocoa notes as well, but they certainly play third violin. The flavor has a pleasant fruitiness to accomplish the elements from the aroma, but it is quite moderate here as well. It could also use a fuller body, but the viscosity of this beer makes it easy to drink. The finish is quite short, but fruity, and with both coffee and chocolate as well as bitterness. I like my stouts fuller and more complex, but this one would go down well on a drinking session, and is certainly the only really decent beer in Aass’ Gourmet series. (070620)
