I couldn’t even finish this beer. Which is saying alot, because I’ll even finish a bottle of Coors Light, and i HATE coors light. Really wasn’t expecting it to be THAT sweet, sorta tasted like I mixed Pepsi and Coors together. It looked pretty nice coming out of the bottle, and smelt alright. But oh god the taste. Definitly not for me. If you like REALLY sweet stouts, you might like this beer.

Bottle from a convenience store in Georgetown, Grand Cayman, while on a shore excursion on the Rhapsody Of The Seas ship, Royal Caribbean fleet. Pours nice and dark with a dark tan head, but the body is too carbonated fo my liking. Smells of chocolate-covered banana. Tastes of corn syrup and chocolate. Very sweet, indeed. Hints of rum and cane sugar in there as well. Nice mouthfeel. Much better than I expected.

I guess its clear that the sweet stouts just aren’t my bag. This was okay. Poured a smooth dark brown with a modest lighter brown head. Very sweet aromas and flavours predominantly of molasses and brown sugar. I didn’t get much chocolate flavour, maybe a bit of fruitcake as my palate adjusted. Just too sweet. Yeeesh.

Robe noire surmontée d’une mince mousse beige. Arômes de caramel et de levures. Saveurs de caramel.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - JAN 12, 2007
Bottled. Very dark brown colour, with small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, sweet coffee, slight smoke and alcohol. Flavour is syrup, slightly roasted malts, and slight alcoholic warmness. Lots of syrup in flavour and aftertaste. Not that good... Sweet and thin.

Other than blue mountain coffee and Bob Marley nothing good ever came out of or ever will come from the crap island of Jamaica. This isn’t beer. This is red stripe with a bit of chocloate malt and a ton of brown sugar added, aged for two days in some old socks ans sent on its miserable way to deplete us poor clowns of $2.50 and 30 minutes of our time. Well marketed swill. All bottles should be broken and forgotten.

on the rocks it tasted like cola. really good. Medium body with notes of sweetness, malt, and cocoa.

iep (230) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - DEC 20, 2006
Opaque black with a small, dense head. Very sweet aroma of alcohol and sugar. Some roasty malt in there but the sweetness dominates. Way too sweet and one-dimensional taste. Cloying and thick syrupy mouthfeel. Not my cup of stout.
