Bottle. Deep brown. Decent, however a little thin and acidic. Some nice subtle mocha and chocolate and a lightly sticky edge, yeah a little bit acidic in the finish. A bit weak for a stout i suppose.

Röstiger, deutlich wässriger Antrunk. Die Malzigkeit taucht hier nur sporadisch innerhalb der Wässrigkeit auf, dieser Zustand ändert sich auch im weiteren Verlauf nicht. Leicht süß, später herb werdend, die Röstigkeit setzt sich leicht. Dünner Abgang, in dem die Wässrigkeit erneut ganz oben steht. Etwas intensiver dürfte es schon sein! 6/5/6/5/10/5

Bottle. A very dark beer, reddish brown, topped by a minimal beige head. Caramel-chocolate aroma with coffee, dried fruits and butterscotch. There’s some roasted bitterness in the flavor, both at first and in the end, else it’s the same butterscotch, chocolate and coffee found in the aroma. It’s medium bodied and quite dry. A decent beer, but too butterscotchy. Misses the style a bit too. 100521

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is dry, caramel, butterscotsch. flavour is dry, roasted malt, alcohol, coffee, butterscotsch. Weird beer.

Bottle at Nya Tröls, Malmö. Clear dark brown coloured with a medium sized off white head. Light roasted aroma of chocolate with roasted notes and notes of butterscotsch. Fruity flavour of chocolate with roasted notes and notes of hops. Light roasted finish. Like a copy of guinness, at least this one isn’t as watery as guinness.

Rated:12.03.2008
Bottle brown, 500 ml, extract of wort 13%
Appearance: Pours, deep, brownish red under the light, visually black, all in all very nice body colour, head is initially medium and slowly decraeses to small, frothy in texture (not creamy as in the original stout), head is off-white, cappuccino like in colour, carbonation of body is visually weak and all in all not clearly seen due to its darkness, no head lacing.
Aroma:Yeasty, mild, creamy, aromatic hoppy nose on top that makes it different from earthy hoppy accent of Irish stout, deeper in some burned roastiness, cherry fruit, pulm, bock like aroma, not strong.
Flavour:Texture is wattery with some roastines, ashy accents and slight bitterness, soltyness, tangy malt, a hint of smoke mixed with light hoppy nose, remanding a foreign stout more than original stout. I can’t agree with a lable message: " a real Irish Stout" starting from tha fact that texture is neither dry nor creamy, but simply wattery.
Palate:Body is light to medium, texture is wattery mainly, carbonation is gentle on palate, finis feel is flat, a bit dull, not that fresh.

Near black colored with red hints. Sweet and roasted, even some berries and caramel in aroma, not the best stout aroma here. Medium bodied, watery palate. Flavor is also roasted but still boring with sweetness and slight caramel.

Bottle. A rather dull interpretation of some other Polish "stouts". Medium-brown, small or no head. Aroma of butterscotch, like a dunkel. Taste...weak. Now that I check the other ratings, they all are different. Weird. Maybe I got a bottle of the more boring kind.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with light roasted notes. The flavor is sweet malty and very roasted, which makes it quite dry.
