SilkTork (3941), Rochester, Kent, England Jul 31, 2007 330ml bottle from BeersOfEurope. Dark beer with cappuccino froth. Caramel notes. Slightly sweet tasting, though quite dry palate. Fruits and nuts. Hints of Camp coffee. Mild lactic notes. Some impression of blood. A very tasty and interesting beer, for which one 330ml serving is not quite enough. Be interesting to try this alongside Sweetheart Stout and Mackeson Stout. Mmm. Some milky sweetness, like breast milk, in the finish. Fascinating. Beese (79), Watford, Hertfordshire, England Jul 17, 2007 Pours a very dark brown, almost black with only a small ammount of of light brown head that dissapears. An aroma of coffee and malt. The taste has hints of very bitter chocolate, some burnt malt and an sweeter finish. I really liked it. Poperinge (352), Cowtown, Alberta, Canada May 22, 2007 Sweet and very full bodied for the ABV and a good crossing between milk chocolate and stout. Page 164 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 193 of his 500 Classic Brews to go. sfhc21 (74), Midlothian, Texas, USA Mar 23, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown with a dirty brown head. Milky, Chocately and delicious. A sort of, refreshing stout. nearbeer (1334), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jan 21, 2008 33 cl. Opaque, jet black with a 3 finger head that lasts and leaves some icing on the glass. Milk chocolate, butterscotch, slight char, and a twinge of buttermilk in the nose. Flavor is coffee, caramel, apples, sour cream, some dark roasted barley, and finally some English hops. Finish is fruity, piquant and dryish. Medium body is pretty smooth, with some slight acidic tingle; finishes a bit dry and astringent. A tasty and unique, chuggable stout. If I were in Malta, this might be my beer of choice, as I suspect the majority may be pale lagers.
