3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20Might have to re-rate after my sickness is gone. Smells wonderful -- taste and palate is closer to Guinness Extra Stout than drought. Nice and dry and smoky with lots of roasty hops flavor -- but not too much to overwhelm the cocoa and coffee.

I didn’t realize this beer has an alias. Anyway, this is "on the list" and we haven’t reviewed a beer in a while. This isn’t my favorite style, but it IS better than Guinness. The only time I would order this again is if I was in Ireland ordering this on on cask. I bet this is killer room temperature.

Bottle. Poured an opaque black with a medium tan head, nice lacing. The aroma is of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee. Taste is dry, with chocolate, coffee, bitter-sweet flavors. Thin, almost watery, high crispy carbonation. Nice stout.

The head is ok, the body black. It smells roasty, darkmalty, creamy, a bit chocolate. The taste is stouty, roasty, coffee, intensive coffee-roasty, sweet-coffeearomatic, caramel, a bit chocolate. Tasty! 12/13/12/12/-/12

Bottle, thanks to Steve (BeersIveKnown) for this one. Dark brown/black, thin fizzy tan head leaves some lacing. Chocolate-covered raisins, soft coffee, some meaty roast. Light chalky roast, some dark chocolate, espresso, long bitter finish. Nice, but a little thin.

50cl bottle from Auchan (Luxembourg). It pours a very dark brown in colour with a small to non existent head. Notes of roast, coffee and chocolate with a bitter and dry end. Not bad.

Belle bière avec une délicieuse odeur d’espresso. Malheureusement, le goput est moins puissant; un peu amer, pas de sucre, sec, trop de co2 à mon goût, un peu terreux fumé, arrière goût de vieux café. C’est pas horrible mais je ne suis pas un fan.

Bottle from Four Firkins, black pour with off white head. Aroma of chocolate, cream and light roast. Taste is bold malt with a light roast, decent.
