Bottled. Pours a pitch black with nice beige head. Strong coffee aroma, hint of chocolate & roasted malts. Quite a watery texture with a bitter hoppy finish. One of the better local stouts.

Nov 28, 2008 Uma das melhores do estilo, ao meu ver. Para quem gosta de stout, essa breja é uma ótima opção. Coloração preta, espuma marrom volumosa e de média duração, deixando uma fina (muito fina) camada perene e marcas nas laterais da taça. Presença marcante de café e malte torrado. Aroma e sabor agradáveis. Conjunto equilibrado e harmônico. Álcool na medida. Carbonatação média/alta. Encorpada. Final longo, tostado e amargo. Bela surpresa!

Oct 29, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Very malty stout. Roast flavors and sweetness of brown sugar/molasses. Pretty good.

Oct 23, 2008 Good stout, evident banana in the aroma. Roasty and sweet and just simply a nice thing to drink any given day. Yum yum.

Oct 20, 2008 750ml bottle. Best after 07/05/08...gotta love Coopers and their bottle conditioned beers!
Emensly dark black body with a thick orangey tan-to-brown head painting the glass.
Even when chilled, this beer gives off a robust oily, charcoal, nutty malt aroma. Notes of espresso, rich toffee, bitter chocolate and dark fruit come through as it warms.
Body isn’t a huge as one would assume; very slippery oily texture, quite high slightly creamy carbonation makes it easy to down, astrigency cuts through quite quickly, coating the mouth and lingering for damn near an entirnity, length alluding to strength without being apparent.
Grainy malts pack the body. Charcoal, wood, coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt, burnt toast, some toffee, black grape tannin, dark berry and plum in there. Finish is dry, lots of bitterness, some bread and even espresso-like at times.
Very well made stout, big length and strength that could easily be overlooked to the established stout drinker.

Oct 20, 2008 ...pours a very dark brown, almost black with a dark tan head that is mostly lasting. Lots of roasted barely malt notes on the nose, some yeast, hints of almond and burnt bread. Highly carbonated, almost fizzy. Good flavors of dark malts, and not too thick. Alcohol is hidden well, not too overpowering with a medium body. Slightly coating texture, with a tofee dry finish. I was surprsised at the quality of this and will have it again.
