1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Rapidly disappearing head. Sweet, the sugar masks everything else. It might be a hit around the sugar plantations in the West Indies, but it is not a beer for me. Widely available in North London.

Pours a dark ruby color and settles black with a pinky sized mocha colored head.

Molasses, raisins, sweet toasty chocolate and a light perfumey alcohol in the aroma.

Sweet raisin, brown sugar and molasses fore that tastes rather Schwarzbier-like. Probably too sweet for some, but is nice to my palate.

Bottle in Jamaica with some Jamaican friends and a Rastafarian. Very thick and black with a chalky feeling. Aroma and flavors of chocolate malt, caramel, and lots of maple and molasses while resembling a Malta (Jamaican softdrink). Everyone reports this brew as medium bodied but I remember it to be thick, especially as it warmed, which happens quick at the outdoor bars. This is the best Caribbean beer I’ve had.

300ml bottle, 7.5% a/v
Pours a very syrupy looking black colour with a nice brown head, albeit a small one. The nose is of malt, nuts, and liquor. Taste consisting of sweetness and fruit with a bit of coffee and chocolate in the aftertaste. Also a warming effect on the stomach, from the high alcohol percent surely.

Yaa man! Bottle. Thick black colour. Strong aroma of roasted malt. The flavour is bit sweet with a nice mild roast, bit fruity and warm aftertaste ending with a good touch of bitter chocolate. Great brew!

I bought this as the guy at the counter reccomended it when I was buying some imperial stouts. I felt it was a bit to sweet almost like Soda. My wife liked it better. Still it was cheap I’d probably buy it again.

Got his beer in Belize. I think that it is the most expensive beer that they have down there. Pours nice and black, then has a nice dry chocolately taste that is coupled with the strong alcohol taste. Relatively easy to drink. Worth trying if it is seen.
