mephisto (1083), Taiwan Jan 17, 2008 pitch black with a thick fluffy brown head, it has toasty aroma of coffee blended with notes of caramel and roasted barley. a spritey mouthfeel anchors a flavor that is bitter and chocolatey.
bee__R (7), Italy does not count Jul 17, 2008 Very dark-almost black. Tan head, medium size bubbles but not lasting at all. The aroma is pretty much what you expect (and I like) from a stout: choccolate and coffee dominating, roasted malts. Intense and quite persistent scent.
I have to say the taste is less bewitching than the aroma. The body is too light (for me) and the carbonation too fizzy. In the mouth I feel a little metallic. Anyway the dark malts taste is the main characteristic and there is a nice bitterness coming from hops as well. I like the bitterness coating my mouth and lasting several minutes.
wyzzywyz22 (243), Wirral, Merseyside, England Jun 23, 2008 Bottle, Belgian Belly. Pretty baked when I drank this, but even so, little impact was made. Dark, no head. Insipid body and flavour. Nothing else to add. badlizard (1380), San Diego, California, USA Jun 22, 2008 Tasted at the SDCF. Dark brown with foamy tan head. Mild roasty aroma.
good strong roasty chocolate taste. WISEGUY572 (1083), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 18, 2008 I’m rating this from very old notes. It took me forever to find this, since I had it down as St. Pieters Stouterik. Dead black with a small fluffy tan head, leaves good lace. Nose and taste of coffee, chocolate, and sweet burnt malts, with a coffee finish. Rciesla (712), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Jun 18, 2008 Bottle. It say stout. Strange. Pours an off dark brown body with a tan head. Aroma is to hoppy to be called a stout with lots of belgian spice that dont belong in a stout. Stupid idea, im slightly annoyed. Its not a bad beer but dont call this a stout thats just inappropriate.
