2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very faint aroma of roasted malt. Pours black with a creamy, nitrogen-enhanced white head. Dry malty taste with not much going on. Very smooth however, the only thing special about it.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap a month ago and just bought a six pack. Aroma is faint. Of light malt and coffee. Appearance really nice, large cascading creamy off-white head that’s fully lasting. Good lacing. Very dark red/black that lets virtually no light through. Flavor starts lightly sweet and finishes moderately bitter and kind of acetic. Palate is watery thin, dry and flat. BUT the one I had a tap we dropped a shot of Baileys in it tasty.

Bière noire qu’on suppose limpide... couronnée de son fameux col voluptueux. De légers arômes de capuccino et de céréales grillées. Légèrement amère. D’une voluptueuse douceur crémeuse, mais malheureusement courte en bouche. Une classique...

Beautiful black beer with a very fine creamy brownish white foam. Mild carbonation, because of the nitrogen pressure mix. Aroma isn’t too pronounced, some roasted malts, some sweetness. Flavour of burned malts and bitter cocoa. Some coffee. Rather thin for a stout, but the thick creamy head compensates by leaving a thick mouthfeel. Roasty dryness in the finish.

Poured from a nitro-can into a glass as in the picture. Immediately the reverse waterfall of Guinness builds up into the perfectly lined head, which follows as you drink. Smell isn’t too strong, but the scent of roasted malts is there. Upon the first creamy sip the bitterness of cocoa is chased down by strong cold coffee and finished by a creamy, cold, milky aftertaste. Pint after pint, being non-carbonated, this one goes down smooth and quickly. SOO... be careful. :-).

Gotta love that thick, creamy Guinness head. Roasted malt, a little coffee. Tastes great *and* less filling! Who’d a thunk?
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours black, medium tan head. Mild aroma of caramel, marshmallow, coffee. Sweet with a touch of bitter in the finish. Tastes a little watered-down for some reason. Smooth malt body, not heavy. I like this beer but it always seems inconsistent to me. Sometimes its great and other times its eh. Depends on age and manner of serving I guess.
