Black in color with a medium sized, light brown head with little lacing. The aroma is of turkish coffee, chocolate, oak, and molasses. The flavor is suprisingly sweet throughtout with notes of molasses, coffee and chocolate. The palate is watery. It’s not a bad stout, but the texture was a big let down and I felt the flavor was somewhat bland...decent I guess, but nothing special.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Rosated, malty nose with smooth creamy chocolate, roasted oats and caffe latte. Malty, roasted taste with notes of milky chocolate, toffee (Swedish Dumlekola to be precise), caffe latte and a smooth, bittersweet finish. Balanced sweetness. Medium body, smooth and creamy texture. Very nice one!

This was a beer where the anticipation was better than the actual product. Served cold from bottle. Poured black with a nice-sized tan head. Aroma is very sweet with chocolate and oatmeal. Taste was equally sweet, good roasted malts, but it didn’t have enough creaminess for me. Compares pretty well to other like-stouts.

I was bored with all the other beers and realized i hadnt had one of these yet. Compares to most high end oatmeal stouts, thick beatuful body and color, nice sweet and chocolaty taste. Only a little bite but not enough to slow you down. Easily drinkable for a stout.

Pours a pitch black with a lovely dark brown head with poor retention. Aroma is faint - buttered toast. Chocolate-licorice flavour, sweet but well-balanced with graininess and light spice. Creamy, thick body, reedy licorice finish doesn’t linger long. Carb is a bit high, but quite refreshing and works against it becoming too sweet. Very drinkable, I like the licorice!

22oz bottle. Black with a thick tan head. Chocolate and roast, oatmeal and some smoke in the nose. The flavor is smooth, sweet, and finishes with a nice middle intensity roasted bitter finish. The oats give a nice fullness, but the body stays on the lighter, drinkable side. Plenty of dark chocolate flavors, but no harsh burnt malt notes. Good stuff for the most part, but the finish is just slightly watery and thin, with a disconnected lingering sweetness that has a creamy flavor with it.

22oz bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a thin, light brown head, specks of lace. Smells roasty malty and there’s a little bit of wet dish towel as well. Tastes roasty malty with some slight sweetness. Medium body, vibrant carbonation.
