3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. bottle from a Guinness English pint. Pours a dark brown color with a nice, white head that leaves great lacing. Aroma has some dark fruity notes that really shine through, with a small bit of roasty character. Taste is again heavy on nondescript dark fruit and roasty malt, with a bitter hoppy finish. For a readily available beer, this is a very nice stout.

12oz bottle. Surprised to see I had never rated this one. Ruby black, some light shines through the corners. Thinnish, patchy beige head. Dry, bittersweet chocolate aroma, some mild dark fruit. Roasty burnt chocolate tones. Some sugary Caribbean style lactic oatmeal tones. Faint pungency. I suspect the bottle is a little old, or the recipe and process are different. I remember really enjoying this beer 10 years ago, but I’m not so impressed with the current adaption

341ml bottle pours almost black on color with a finger of geige head that retains well and leaves some spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is roasted malts with hints of coffee. Taste is roasted malt bitterness with some chocolate malt sweetness and hints of coffee, while any hops are quite subdued. Body is a little thin for the style and carbonation is nice. Overall, quite a nice ale.

Pours black with a great looking khaki head and tons lacing. Aroma was malt and a hint of coffee. Taste is bitter coffee, bread and malt. Lively on the palate but thin.

In my most objective opinion, this is the bench mark of all Stoudts, but then , you knew that. It looks great, taste great, smells great, yada-yada- yada. What cqn I say?

My favorite stout! Readily available and more fun than Guinness Draught! Just a great stout to kick back and enjoy. A Whoopie Goldberg in every bottle! Yummy!

Rocky, fizzy, tan head of approx 2 fingers. Aroma was light malt which matched the palate. Overall, I was slightly disappointed with this beer. It is supposed to be an extra stout, but comes across as a normal stout. Nothing special or different here. Overall it was good, but forgettable.
