kramer (3454) - Sunbury, USA - JAN 14, 2010
50 cl bottle. Pours a clear dark brown body with a large frothy light brown head. The nose is roasty and chocolaty with a sweet burnt caramel note. The flavor is quite sweet with roast and burnt caramel. Finishes with some licorice and toasted malt. Full bodied and quite viscous with a clingy sticky finish. Soft gentle carbonation level. Overall pretty tasty but the sweetness got a bit tiring by the end of the bottle.

Bottle from BevMo. Aroma and flavor of rich malts and chocolate. Medium to full mouthfeel and a smooth palate. A very drinkable and enjoyable stout without much bitterness at all. Great beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

(Flasche) Es hat eine schwarze fast undurchsichtige Farbe, bei der mit viel Licht ein rötliches Schimmern durchkommt. Es ist klar filtriert mit hellbrauner Schaumkrone. Das Aroma ist röstig mit einer Spur von Waldbeere und Karamell. Der Geschmack ist sehr samtig, vollmundig, röstig mit einer breiten Bittere. Zusammengefasst ein leckeres Stout.

Great Stout. No head and thin mouthfeel. Nearly a smokey aftertaste. Not a sweet stout, definite bitterness left on the palate

# 3046 ersma: zufällig in lübeck in einem weinladen gefunden, der eine überraschende bierauswahl hatte. schwarz wie die nacht, mittelviel bräunlicher schaum, der stabiler sein könnte. der geruch ist deutlich röstmalzig, viel kaffee und lakritz. der antrunk ist röstmalzig und süßlich mit viel schoko und etwas kaffe und süßholz. zur mitte wird es herber, wobei schoko und süßholz sich bis in den abgang hangeln und erst dort langsam verblassen. ansonsten ist der abgang süßlich, malzig und nur wenig herb, von bitterkeit ist gar nichts zu merken. flasche: ok fazit: solide, wenn auch etwas unterhopft. bei sieben umdrehungen würde man etwas mehr intensität und tiefe der aromen erwarten. gut trinkbar ists dennoch. 11,11,10,10,10,10 10,25 4/3/12

fsquirrel29 (33) - Michigan, USA - APR 27, 2012
A rather ordinary stout - but I liked it. it’s not as sweet and creamy as Guinness, but is still full flavored. It was a bit pricy, where i probably wouldn’t make a regular habit of buying this, but if somebody handed me one, I would certainly accept it and gladly drink it.

Ron (1693) - Rochester, New York, USA - APR 20, 2012
Pours a clear ruby color with a medium sized tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of skunk, sweet roasted malts, raisin and a bit of peat. The taste is also skunky with roasted malts, sweet notes, smoke and bitter hops. Medium bodied.

reebtogi (2159) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - APR 10, 2012
500ml bottle pours almost black in color with a dense beige head that leaves some pleasing lacing on the glass. Aroma is roasted malts with hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is roasted malt bitterness with some chocolate sweetness and a mild hop bitterness. Full bodied with some nice carbonation leaving a pleasant feeling on the palate. A very well done stout that was very well enjoyed.
