altehkiller (71), , California, USA Apr 15, 2009 why does everyone like this beer so much? this is like a watered down dry stout. low in alcohol and low in flavor. also has an annoying head that defies the laws of physics by never disappearing! this is training wheels for stouts. all that is bad stuff but it is still drinkable and tates ok. the extra stout is much better. bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada Apr 15, 2009 2,69$ for a 440ml can. The device produced a lasting white thick head but the texture was watery. I had better opinion of this stout before I tasted the one I’m having now but this is almost displeasing. Flat and boring too-discreet tastes of roasted malt, chocolate and espresso, but it is the hoppiness that is so absent. I might re-rate because maybe the can had a problem but I pretty much hated that one. gunnar (486), Sandnes, Norway Apr 15, 2009 Pours pitch black with a small off white head. Mild roasty aroma. Some chocolate/coffee taste, light roasted, not much bitterness. Watery mouthfeel and quite thin. MrGGen (221), Italy Apr 15, 2009 Nera e densa con una schiuma molto cremosa e aderente e abbastanza persistente.Aroma leggero di cereale tostato.Sapore di malto tostato,cioccolato,nel complesso discretamente dolce.La più classica delle stout dell’isola verde,ottima, ma volendo essere pignoli si trova anche qualcosa di meglio. drseusszb200 (183), Florida, USA Apr 14, 2009 the go to beer for most occasions poured perfectly black bottom no bubbles white creamy head taste mild stout mmbt7 (26), Moorhead, Minnesota, USA Apr 13, 2009 All hail the widget! Classic stout. World wide benchmark that you can compare any stout to. Not the best, but never a bad choice. Beer2000 (1775), Kristiansand, Norway Apr 10, 2009 On tap. Dark brown, close to black body with a nice, dense, foamy, beige head. Aroma is mild roasted. Flavor is soft roasted malt, a hint of coffee and not particular bitter. Quite nice, feels fruity and soft but a bit thin body and one-dimensional.
