Canned, courtesy of SJP. Holy moly! a stout beer from China! Aroma is subltle malt and chalky roasted quality. Flavor is...well, actually good. I think this is the perfect going away beer, since its does seem to have some beer in it. There isnt a whole lot of flavor, but hell, its a great break from the normal beers here.

Dark brown color with fine head. Thin coffee aroma. Watery slightly roasted cofee flavor. Nothing to with a stout beer.

[Courtesy of Geokkjer] Pours clear brown with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of light roasted malt, caramel and metal. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with a dry metallic finish. Body is light, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Mal was anderes aus China als ein Lager, mal schaun ob die Chinesen Stout brauen können. Dunkelrote, ins Braune gehende Farbe, der Schaum ist direkt weg. Ganz ehrlich - dieses Stout schmeckt wie jedes andere chinesiche Lager auch - das ist erschreckend! Stout und Lager sollte man wohl beim Blindtest unterscheiden können. Wässrig, leicht süßlicher Abgang, grottenschlecht! Da helfen auch die deutschen Aufdrücke wie "Qualität aus Sachsen" nichts! Test vom 20.11.2006, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 4,2,3,2,10,2 - 2,75

Can. Red dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is dry, coffee. Flavour is fruit, malt, coffee, grain. Weak stout.

350 ml can. Dark amber body with a thin beige head. A faint roasted malt aroma. Sweetish, weak malty flavor with just traces of roast, not much bitter, more like some kind of harsh bitterness. Thin body and short finish.

Can 350ml.Labels says Blue diamond beer - Naale - Stout beer 13p. Pours dark brown with a small off-white head.Aroma of apple and toffee ,maybe a hint of roast.Metallic with some sweetness ,some oxidized notes.Some toffee.Very boring .

Can. Looks like cola including the fizzy fast-disappearing head. Smells like oily oatmeal cookies. Slick palate. No roast at all. Sweet caramel, not horrid but oily and like non-dairy creamer and low-grade candy bars.

Light brown. No head. Some sort of gravelly, watery, tarry swill nose. Tastes like watery Coffee Crisp. Hrm. Not stout, maybe not even beer.

Can. Looks and pours just like Coca Cola (dark reddy brown with no head). Slightly roasty malt aroma. Mouthfeel pretty much like Coca Cola, but a bit less fizzy. The taste has some complexity, but it is a long way from being stout (or good). There is an initial dark roast flavour with molasses which gives way to a fruity (apples) taste and dark chocolate in the finish. It’s interesting and actually quite drinkable when you get over the initial shock.

350 ml can thanks to omhper!

Clear dark red color, almost to black. Dense tan head. Bleuberry, red currants, a bit malty scent, also acidic. Metallic, sweet, berry taste. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness.
