One of my all-time favorites... can’t add anything not already written here about it, love everything about this this beer (other than the low ABV). If bumped up to around 6%, wouldn’t drink anything else.

Tastes stifling/musty/stuffy/stale. Maybe someone likes it but I don’t. I really wonder who likes this... must be a decoyed person. Almost makes me vomit. Anyway, in some occasions this tastes good. [0,5 l can]

brilliant pour, slight chocolate aroma impeaded by foamy head. Smoothy, silky chocolate roastyness with a touch of bitterness,

thagr81_us (171) - Gaffney, South Carolina, USA - MAY 11, 2010
Served from bottle into Euro Pint. Pours a dark dark brown with a red hue when looking down onto the beer. Has a one finger off-white head that stays until the end. Has an awesome pouring ’show’ with the carbonation slowly making its way to the top. The aroma has slight nutty and malty hints. The flavor is light on the palate with little to no carbonation with malty notes. Overall this is not horrible, but it is definitely not a beer I typically buy with the availability. It will probably stay that way however...

BanjoDude (57) - Kingsport, Tennessee, USA - MAY 10, 2010
Has a nice aroma of roasted malts, the appearance is nothing but black as oil with a nice, creamy tan head, the taste is great with a burnt aftertaste that makes you want more, the body is very thin and its hard to even notice the carbonation. Overall, this a good beer, but not as good as the extra stout. 3.4

djaquay (86) - Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 9, 2010
22oz on tap, at Smokey Bones. Very fine, off-white head which lasted until the very end, little lace, dark/opaque color, light nutty/roasty flavor, nothing on the bitter side, smooth finish. I can finally say I’ve had a Guinness.

dylan88 (208) - Rimini, ITALY - MAY 8, 2010
On tap. Black with a creamy tan head that lasts until the beer is gone. Smooth creamy, light on carbonation, thin with some tangy roasty coffee flavors. Aroma is roasted. Finished light with some bitterness. Light bodied.
