Mar 30, 2009 Excellent Stout! Once again, Elysian surprises me with something. Aroma is roasty, smoky malts. Lots of chocolate notes in this one. Pours black with a gorgeous brown head. Flavor is smokey and dry. Lots of bitterness in this one, but lots of sweetness as well. As noted, there is almost a citrus finish.

Mar 29, 2009 This was really good. The aroma jumps at you when you open it. Very dark almost black with a tan head. Flavor of chocolate and coffee followed by a citrus taste. Nicely balanced. Well done.

Mar 25, 2009 Black with a gorgeous, thick, brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, soy and chocolate. Awesome flavor! Roasted bitterness is balanced very well with the malty sweetness that is found throughout. Very drinkable and the alcohol is masked well. Finish could be a little more bitter in my opinion but very, very good otherwise.

Mar 22, 2009 Bomber big thanks to BrewDad. I love Foreign Stouts! Pours a dark black color with a thick light brown head. The aroma is excellent; sweet and rich malts, chocolates, fruity and sweet. The flavor is also top notch; roasted malts, milk chocolates, fruit, some cherries perhaps and a rich caramel addition. Very decedent and rich. An excellent creamy mouthfeel also. Awesome. A light bitter hop in the finish.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours with a dark color and a nice head with good lacing. Very nice aromas of chocolate and coffee in addition to some nice roaste notes. Very nice body, not too heavy but not too thin. Very creamy mouthfeel with chocolate flavors and some hops backbone. Grows great with food.

Feb 22, 2009 1/14/09 From the bottle. Aroma is rich roast malt forward, bittersweet, and slightly sour. Appearance is very dark with a well maintained tan head. Flavor is sweet-sour malt forward with a low roast background. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a low carb texture. Overall, big and complex, a lot to savor, but not too easy drinking.
