Mechem (13), Lima, Peru Jun 13, 2009 One of the good mass-produced beers out there. Lives up to all the hype in my book.
The appearance is a perfect dark color, with a rich creamy head that extends up quite a bit. Smells fantastic, and the flavor is rich and full of depth. I find the palate to have a great aftertaste and still retains a nice stiff bite at the end. Thicker, but not extremely filling.
And of course, one of the best out of the can tastes there is.
bobbypaulson (100), , Minnesota, USA Jun 10, 2009 I tried this beer from a can and from a draft and from a draft that served it colder in England. It’s just an all around good starter stout. It’s the easiest one to come across and has great flavor it pours a murky (and alive) black with a super thick creamy stout. Smell is of roasted malt. Taste is coffee and vanilla perfect when mixed with Jameson and baileys then it tastes like super rich chocolate milk. alepig666 (78), Adelaide, Australia Jun 10, 2009 Easily one of my favourite beers. Looks perfect, the head never quits, and smells excellent, chocolate and coffee sort of smell. Great smooth mouth feel, mellow flavour for a stout with slight bitterness, tastes great to me. Not as stomach filling, overpowering or bitter as most stouts, great for non stout converts. Best cold, but can be consumed at up to 15 degrees C easily. The only bad thing is the rock hard constipation that can occur if you drink too much of it. Don’t be a pussy lager fan, be a real man and give this brilliant brew a go. zvikar (413), Tel-Aviv, Israel Jun 9, 2009 From tap @BeerFest in Israel, used to be my beer, black opaque with velvet beige head, weak aroma of roasted malt and some vanilla notes, roasted malt flavor some coffee some smoke and a bitter citrusy finish. Watery. italarican (157), Astoria, New York, USA Jun 9, 2009 Pours a thick black with a relentless off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, molasses, and coffee. Moderately rich flavors of freshly ground coffee and malt. It stays thick and creamy. As it warms, a slight alcohol flavor emerges. A mighty beer, despite being a tad short of flavor density. PeterGH (1), Manitoba, Canada does not count Jun 8, 2009 Pint, excellent appearance, complex palate; coffee, chocolate, etc. Thick creamy head.
