2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from Beers of europe. Black, thick stout with a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Sweet and sticky. One dimensional.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
284ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a dark tan head that subsides. Aroma of molasses and malt. Flavour likewise and pretty sweet. Palate is light and quaffable by stout standards. If you’re expecting a heavy, rich stout, you will be disappointed. If you’re looking for an easy drinking dark beer, you should enjoy it.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
300ml bottle.
Pours an abysmal black with a brown bubbly head. Aroma is sweet, roasty and malty. Caramel, molasses and milk chocolate. Alcoholic as it warms. The flavour is quite sweet as well. Fruit, chocolate, sugar and alcohol. Finishes bitter, lightly alcoholic and sticky. Not bad.

bouteille brune, dans le même genre que le royal extra stout, bon stout ferme, rond et très sucré. et très agréable.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle bonused to me by Dragon Stout, ( what a surprise ) Pours a dark brown with ruby red tones with a 1/2" tan head. Nose is very sweet with molasses being the dominate smell. Flavor is the same. It is to sweet, but I don’t understand the low ratings of some of my fellow ratebeerians. I didn’t get any vinyl flavor. Drank at cellar temp. Mouthfeel is medium with low carbonation.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
284ml bottle acquired in trade with DragonStout (how appropriate!). Poured a dark, dark brown color wtih a huge (5 finger) sized head. Aromas of vinyl (like the plastic covered sofas), roast, and caramel. I can’t get past the plastic. Tastes of chocolate, dark fruits (raisins and plums), caramel, brown sugar, and a trace of coffee. Sweet.
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Black with a red tinge. Head completely disappears. Sweet malt somewhat roasted aroma with a fair amount of alcohol. Too sweet. Body not full enough to support the alcohol.
1.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
284 mL bottle pours like soy sauce with a short, tan head. Aroma is lots of alcohol, prunes, cheap wine. Flavor is a disturbing blend of Diet Dr. Pepper, Cough Syrup and a hint of Soy Sauce. This is one to haunt your dreams. The palate is pretty awful too, adding to the sensation of drinking soy sauce. Overall, finished half so, I guess it wasn’t a total drainpour. I’ll take SA triple bock instead any day.
