2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Pours a dark red brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts and very slight coffee. Flavor is very sweet with a slight coffee flavor at the finish. Way too sweet, but not undrinkable.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle shared. Poured dark with no head. Aroma of sweet & roasted malt. Taste is very sweet and a little strange. Mouth is a little on the watery side. Overall, a strange and overly sweet stout. Glad I shared this.

Very sugary sweet. Nice roast but very little bitterness shows up to balance the sweetness.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
284 ml bottle. Finland.
Black colour with no head. Sweet roasted malt and lactose aroma. Tiny hints of coffee too. Flavour is very sweet, roasted malt and lactose again. But no coffee. Quite exotic stout.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Poured from bottle at Stout NYC. Served in a frosted glass - hmmm. Malt and sodda in aroma. Looks an awful lot like soda too - absolutely no head at all. I taste maraschino cherry, malt and alcohol. Despertely needs more malt for balance. Heady feel. Sickening finish. Corn syrup?! That’s just not right.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Over-sweetened coffee. Curiously, like Guinness FES, I could enjoy this cold out of the fridge. Maybe these tropical stouts are designed that way.
3.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
300 mL Bottle. The colour is of black coffee with a brown soapy head that settles to a thin soapy ring. The aroma is toasted malt, a hint of chocolate, and a very slight tang about it that is remiscent of herbs, black mission figs and a whisper of licorice. The taste is almost cola-like; sweet roasted / smoked malt, chocolate, and toffee, although a tad sweet for my liking. Sweet roasted malt and toffee linger a bit in the aftertaste ending in a clean finish. Well worth a visit by any dark beer afficionado.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle while I was in the Virgin Islands. Poured a dark brown color with a one finger brown head. The aroma was chocolate, roasted malt and some dark fruits. The flavor was very sweet caramel, with dark fruit and a hint of milk chocolate.
