Rating #55 for 2012. 12oz bottle cool, from a laser cut shaker glass. Faint aroma of roasted malt. 1/2 inch tan head that vanished instantly over extremely dark red tinted liquid, no lacing. Taste of light malt some awkward sweetness in the finish. Medium body with light carbonation. I thought Carib Royal Extra Stout would be the worst Stout I’ve had, but no here it is.

Had it once b4 yrs ago & then havn’t seen it again untill this yr. 11.40 a 6pack or 1.90 a single little 284ml bottle. I recall it tasted to me like some cherry flavoured liquor,not like a stout or any beer. I like stouts btw. So lets find out what i think the 2nd time I drink this yrs later:pours jet black with a ;ittle head. smell is soft and like cherryish candy. seems to smell fine but diff 4 stout. A light sweet ight cherry taste with a little carbonation watery tad chocolate beer taste. It sit’s odd in me & taste a bit odd. The 7.5% actully get’s ya f-ed up so yeah. A tad odd & a tad gross cus of the sweetness cherry taste. Oh well least strong % & not lager cheer’s.

300ml bottle. Pitch black body, with a small mocha head, poor retention. Aroma of raisins, licorice, faint hop, caramel, booze hint. Taste of raisins, caramel, malt, herbal, on the sweet side. Enjoyable.

Dark beer with some mahogany hues around the edges. Frothy tan head. Light, puffed cereal nose. Very sweet stout. There is a simple sweetness to it, like light brown sugar or thinned out malt syrup. Some toast and hints of balance, but really just rough sweetness.

330ml bottle pours black in color with a small light brown head that only leaves a few specks of lacing on the glass. Aroma is caramel and dark roasted malts with some mild hop presence. Taste is caramel and light chocolate malty sweetness with some coffee and roasted grain bitterness with hops not present. Medium to heavy body with some llively carbonation. A little sweet for my liking, but still a quality brew that exceeded my expectations.

Sept 2006 from BA: I was very surprised to see this in Shropshire, so got it straight away. It had been in the garage waiting for me to open for about 3 months, I couldn’t put off any longer and i have drank it tonight while watching the rain fall onto my garden. Dark, very dark, with an amber tan head which stayed, but originally a lot thicker and tighter, towards the end it was whispy and thining. Initialy the aroma was strong, but it faded quickly, chocolate and coffee mostly. Sweet, slightly sticky, but not unpleasant, not the sort of stout I would climb over a nude women to get at, but if offered another, I would drink it.

Bottle in Berlin Flat. Pours an opaque black with a small beige head. Quite sweet with aromas of caramel and notes of perfume and vanilla. Medium bodied. Medium to high carbonation. Dry, slightly perfumey finish.

pours dark brown/black with tanned a head. aroma is sweet with caramel and sugar cane. taste is very sweet, but has an underlying bitterness, coffee, liquorice and roasted malts. its a bit thin and sugary, but pretty drinkable.

Une grosse présence de canne à sucre se manifeste sans gêne dans cette bière camouflé en RC cola. Pas très sexy mais quand même pas repoussant.

Sweet and roasty aroma. Deep brown in color with no head. The sugar cane his very prominent and probably makes it too sweet.
