interesting pour, I saw parts that looked almost milky, and then black. Once poured, its an almost black color, with a thick retaining head that looks great. The aroma is nice. The flavor is light hops up front and roasted barley, dark coffee notes with some hops through to the finish. Almost no carbonation - which I do not care for. Overall generally light with not much body, that combined with no carbonation just doesnt do much for me.

33cl bottle from Publix Supermarkets (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark black, completely cloudy with thick tan head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet and roasted malt, coffee, dark ripe fruit, dark chocolate. Flavor is sweet and roasted malt with a milky, creamy texture, some coffee, dark chocolate, spice. Generally full body with a slightly sweet, slightly bitter coffee finish.

Nice nitro pour with a brownish swirling tan that settles to a much darker brown with a finger of permanent creamy eggshell head. Nitro aroma, thin roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is mostly roasted on a very light body. Decent beer available at many beer wastelands.

On tap. Pours a deep ruby with a one-finger ultra dense cream head from the nitrogen added. Great lacing. Aromas mostly subdued but there is some bread, chocolate malt, and coffee. Taste is a little watery and thin- perhaps the easiest drinking stout I have ever tried. Nice balancing hops creates a neutral aftertaste.

Um clássico das cervejas. A aparência é única, e o sabor encorpado e forte, com o inesquecível amargor.

Had this for many years and still have not rated it as though it is as common as drinking water. Served on nitro at Bonfre, pours an opaque near black brew with a creamy off-white head that has excellent retention from the nitro pour. Aroma of dark toasted malt, chocolate and roasted coffee. Taste is kind of medium bodied, watery texture with tastes of toasted malt and some chocolate. Finish is nearly crisp with a thin or nearly no aftertaste.

Poured from 14.9 oz bottle into large dimpled mug. Aroma - Faint toasted malt. Appearance - Opaque black. Huge creamy tan head that has nice retention and lacing. Flavor - Toasted malt with faint notes of chocolate and coffee. Palate - A bit on the watery side. Smoothly carbonated due to the nitro widget. Overall - This is the ultimate drinkable stout. Low ABV and smooth flavor. What it lacks in complexity it makes up for in pure drinkability. It goes well with anything from breakfast to a midnight snack. Cheers!
