FatPhil (3443), Espoo, Finland May 14, 2007 355ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki , American Week 2007).
Beautifully rich dark head. Ginger comes over right from the start. Taste is a pleasant combination of bitterness, ginger, and stoutness. Complex, something new in every mouthful. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA May 8, 2007 Bottle. Pours a nice dark brown/black with a tan head. Nice aroma of coffee and cocoa. Taste is full bodied and has a slight bitter finish to it. A wonderful beer. Enjoyit (1695), Vadum, Denmark May 7, 2007 Black of color with a cloudy beige head. A nice aroma of coffee, chocolate, liqurice and smoke. A flavor of liqurice, smoke and raw liqurice. A creamy and nice dry stout. Hoss (602), Florida, USA May 6, 2007 I htought this was an excellent dry stout which hit all the right notes. I would like to see this one in more places but alas i live in Florida which is "stout light" boboski (1095), Alabama, USA May 6, 2007 Pours an ashen, near black, with a medium and well retained light brown head. Thick lacing in gobs. No visible carbonation, but something is sustaining the head. Aroma is very roasty and very hoppy, fresh chocolate and light nuts mixed in. Flavor is moderately acidic and quite roasty. Light on the tongue, the palate soon becomes tingly with roast and ample bitterness. Finishes soft and citric, light alcohol finally noticeable. Very easy drinking. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA May 2, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Bold, robust roasted malt flavor. swedishfish (29), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Apr 30, 2007 First I just dumped this beer in the pint glass and it came out with a huge frothy head then simmered down leaving a small tan head with heavy lacing. It just coats the glass as you drink it down. Nice roasted malty flavor goes down nice and smooth and isn’t to heavy which leaves room for more. Leaves a slight bitter taste on the back of your tounge but doesn’t stay for very long. Good brew. Braincage1 (137), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Apr 30, 2007 Bottle. A nice black molasses beer with a thin head. Flavor is average with a bitter cocolate taste. Decent but didnt leave too much of an impression.
