The main thing, or maybe the only thing I like about this beer is the dark brown almost black color with almost no head. The rest is just average to me. Not bad not good, and not very special to me.

44 cL nitrocan, Aroma: Roasy, toffee and chocolate notes. Light notes of hops. Appearance: Clear, obaque color. 1 finger very creamy head. Very small bubbles in the head! The head looks just awesome! Taste: Roasty and watery taste. Little sourness present. Really dry. Palate: Low body, low carbonation, very dry. Short and malty aftertaste. Overall: Very easy drinkable. Watery and very dry taste. Solid beer but nothing special. I would order a second one.

UPDATED: JUL 26, 2011 The appearance is beautiful, nearly pitch black with a thick off white creamy head that leaves beautiful lacing. The appearance lied to me I was expecting a thick extremely flavorful beer instead I got a very restrained coffee and chocolate flavor with an out of place after taste, the head feels great but the beer is somewhat watery after the head. It’s no bad but it is a pretty wimpy stout.

500ml can. Appearance is deep black with creamy, beige head. Aroma is bready with some slight notes of coffee and toffee. Taste is corresponding - heavy sweet malt flavor with some subtle notes of coffee and roasted grains. Palate is medium-bodied, creamy texture, slightly thin, thick carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish.

Can 50 cl. A black colour with a high creamy longlasting head. An aroma of bread, malt, coffee and caramel. The taste is light sweet with a bitter end. A full body and avarage carbonation. I like Guinness Draught

It looks pretty but it is pretty watery. I used to think think was beer cause it was dark and "thick." Its water compared to other stouts.
