nhorween (504), New York, New York, USA Apr 23, 2008 12 oz. Dark pour with a thin head. Light aroma - cocoa, light hops - rather subdued. Good flavor for the style, easy to drink. Medium body, dry finish. Nothing mind blowing, but not bad.
stison42 (311), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA Aug 26, 2008 Black. Little head. Sweet aroma. Sweet Taste. Soda like. Thin. Some chocolate taste but not as much as I hoped for. Not clean tasting. rugbydude05 (162), Kew Gardens, New York, USA Aug 20, 2008 Bottle, NYC. Pours a dark brown color, aroma is amazingly smooth and is of chocolate and coffee and not harsh at all as I would have expected. Taste was also very sweet but balanced out by a very smooth palate and a flavor that fills the mouth. Aftertaste is mild and pleasant cgarvieuk (2349), Edinburgh, Scotland Aug 19, 2008 Bottle at Chris o’s Thanks to who ever sent me this … deep red black,deep roast malts,bit fizzy,loads of chocolate, sweet smooth roast malts, good stout omhper (10438), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 18, 2008 Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Near black, minimal head. Cardboardy nose with some cranberries. Sweetish with mushy molasses covering a hard, edgy core of metallic malt. Chocoalte is vague, unpleasant lactic acidity is strong, and so is blood and sharp metal. Really unbalanced and aggressive. I couldn’t even finish half of it. KUEric (558), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA Aug 16, 2008 Deep and dark. The aroma isn’t much, but chocolate hints and some some roasted maltiness. The flavor was a little much for me. Just too much sweet, too much flavor overall, I’m but a wee boy.
