Panzerfaust (374), Santiago, Chile Mar 17, 2008 Nitro can, 500 ml Pours a cloudy, blurry light brown color that turns into very dark brown with mahogany hues. Head grows slowly and becomes a medium, solid, prototypical nitro-crem that never collapses.
Aroma is malty, toasted, rather strong with notes of plums, raisins, prunes, figs and some lactose, grains and wheat.
Flavor is bittersweet, burnt with touches of torrified coffee grains, toasted bread, rye, licorice and high cacao dark chocolate.
Body is medium to big. Ultra-smooth texture, creamy and silky. Almost no carbonation. Alcohol is there in form of a trace of diacetyl. Bitter and simple finish. I think it’s better than Guinness Draught.
Todeon (145), Höllviken, Sweden Jul 22, 2008 Draft. Pretty black color. Taste is a bit roasted and caramel dominated but mouthfeel is a bit to watery I think,still a decent brew. GangGreen712 (37), Woodstock Valley, Connecticut, USA Jul 18, 2008 A sweet aroma, pours the usual black stout. Head is weaker than many other stouts. Tastes of coffee and a bit of a syrupy sweetness. Really good beer, but nothing notably different than the much easier to find Guinness. cellar (271), Dublin, Ireland Jul 17, 2008 Pitch black with creamy lasting head leaving laces. Weak not of roasted malt and milk/ Sweet and little bitter finish. Soft mouthfeel. douglas88 (641), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Jul 15, 2008 Bought at the Utah State Store. Pours a pure black body with a thick beige head, really quite a nice pour, it suggests a great beer. The aroma is quite light; caramel malts and some smoke. The taste is quite mild; smoked malts, caramel, light milk chocolate, a very think mouthfeel, and overall a pleasing, but thin beer. I think this beer is much better on tap, I’ll re-rate it. Otherwise, a good beer. SHIG (1382), Oberoffligen, Germany Jul 13, 2008 Can: Poured a dark black with a creamy huge light brown head. Aroma is sweet malts and caramel. Taste is sweet coffee bean, roasted malts, and just enough of a tange to keep it inviting. Leaves a sweet taste on the tongue.
