Nov 21, 2007 330ml bottle - pours near black, with a thick tan head. Aroma of coffee, heavily roasted malt, dark sour fruit. Slight alchohol in the nose. Flavour is very dense, heavy and roasty, lots of coffee and sour cherries, with chocolate rounding out the finish. Mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Very good stout, in many ways similar to an American imperial. Alcohol warms in the finish as well at the back of the throat. Really good.

Nov 2, 2007 So much better than the draught. It is not as smooth but easier to drink. does that make sense?

Oct 25, 2007 Updated: Aug 7, 2008Small off-license in Dalston, London E8.
St James Gate Brewery, for export to UK or Belgium/Holland judging by languages on bottle. For me, better than the Nigeria version, the increased subtlety leading to a deeper and more complex feel. Dense and moderately sour.

I have grown to prefer the nigerian version, over the course of the last year.

Oct 21, 2007 Roasted malt and molasses aroma. Black color, thick tan head, good lacing. Coffee, bitter grass, and sour cherry flavors, which don’t go so well together. Smoky finish. I like my stouts sweeter, but this is a classic.

Oct 15, 2007 Sampled at Lucaya, Grand Bahama Island. Strong roasted flavor, but much winier and stronger than expected. I tasted raisend and a roasted flavor, which I really enjoyed. The 7.5% abv made a relaxing nite-cap.
