Draft at the Micro Bar in Reykjavik The stout poured an opaque balck with a creamy tan head. There was lacing. This was a fine stout that started off slow but closed well. The aroma had tobacco and roasted malts on the nose. The stout improved over time. The medium body stout had soft carbonation. Maybe a hint of licorice and bitter hops at the finish. Not a bad stout. This is a stout worth trying while in Iceland.

Kolsvart öl, med beigt skum. Lakrits, kaffe, rökighet, mörk choklad, röda bär - allt ryms i aromen. Smakar lika bra som den doftar och är uppe och nosar på ett ännu högre betyg, men där finns en svag, svag vattnighet som gör att det förblir en 8 i smakbetyg. Men intensivt är det ändå, med lakrits, mörk choklad, salt, tjära... Ljuvligt gott.

This beer had the highest score on our Icelandic craft beer tasting, and it was also one of my favourites, too bad it was one of the last ones tasted, towards the end of our trip. I could’ve had some more. The only thing I can objectively point out for loss of points was the thin head, a constant in many Icelandic brews we tasted

Jet black colour, tan head. Aroma of coffee, light sour stout aroma, roasted malts and chocolate. Light bitter flavour, light sweet malts, light sour touch. Somewhat light bodied. Sweet finish, roasted malts, coffee, light bitterness. Nice!

Bottle at home with T, M and J. Pours black with a beige head. Dry with aromas of burnt malts and hints of band-aid. Also some fruity hops aromas. Mossy hints. Soft carbonation. Medium bodied. Dry, slightly citric finish.

330ml bottle kindly shared by Elisabeth & Stefan at our back to school session. Tight, beige head resting on top of a jet black body. Dotted spots at the glassware. Promising aroma of roasted, dark chocolate malts. Cocoa and bitter anise in the flavour character. Bitterness from dark fruits to the ending. Tasty (Tromsø, 20.08.2012).

On tap at Micro Bar in Reykjavik. Dark pour with a froth head. Mild aroma of toasted malt. Hint of code in the taste. Overall a pleasant stout, if a bit on the watery side.
