grandridge (116), Port Clinton, Ohio, USA Mar 14, 2008 Pours black with big chunky sediment at the bottom of my dimpled mug. Large tan head that dissipates to a nice tan lacing. I’ve had this brew in Australia but never rated it. So here it goes from the states. Aroma is chocolate, roast, coffee. Nice thick mouthfeel, I still like this stout even though I’m not on the beaches of Australia. Just a little watered down but has good flavor and a nice, slightly bitter aftertaste. Refreshing for a stout.
hellbilly (796), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA Jul 26, 2008 pours a dark opaque woody brown with a medium sized pale cocoa colored head. smells like a toned down baltic... chocolate, malty grain, dark fruit and some faint licorice. the flavor is chocolate, light smoke, fruit/cherry/raisin?, cream, grassy hops and a tart coffee-ish finish. black coffee is present in the aftertaste. medium body. rich creamy texture and a slightly acidic mouth feel. way better than i was expecting... texasbartender (129), Sugarland, Texas, USA Jul 20, 2008 The beer pours a totally black brown with a thin off white head that doesn’t hang around. The nose is a great mix of burnt malts. Bitter sweet chocolate and coffee. The taste is right in step with the nose; a slightly bitter mix of chocolate malts and coffee. screwball (677), Motala, Sweden Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Black. No head. Aroma is little grassy, coffe and dark chocolate. Taste is from coffee and liquorice. Medium dry and quite light brew for beeing a stout. Veer (321), Landskrona, Sweden Jul 14, 2008 Aroma: milk, coffee, roasted, chocolate, tobacco, burnt.
Flavour: sweetish, milk chocolate, caffè latte, pretty mild & soapy.
Palate: sappy, milky & fizzy. Slightly fat & bubbly.
Appearance: blackish brown with dark beige head. Pretty nice. SuperDave70 (652), Arizona, USA Jul 8, 2008 Pours a clear black with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted grain and malt. Roasty sweet caramel malt and chocolate flavor. A bit thin on the palate. Not bad for a six pack stout.
