ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Aug 21, 2007 Black with a lasting off white head leaving a nice lace. Caramel and toffee aroma, and some butterscotch. Rich malty flavour, plenty roast malt, nice bitter finish. AWS9 (221), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Aug 18, 2007 Glass in Paris. Looks excellent in the glass, smells all pretty like too. Taste hits you on the first sip, though it became admittedly harder and harder to drink till the bottom. Impressive though and plan to try again. saxo (3511), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Aug 12, 2007 Bottle. Brewed in Cameroon. Huge brown head with excellent duration. Color is black. Aroma is roast malt and coffee. Taste is roast malt and coffee as well. Sour bitter finish. FrankJohansen (3329), Sabro, Denmark Aug 10, 2007 Bottle (cameroun). Black colour with a huge fully lasting light brown head. Powerful aroma and taste of roasted malts and coffee with notes of bitter chocolate. Good beer. Whelk (124), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England Aug 6, 2007 330mL bottle. Pours a jet black (or dark enough that I can’t see through it) with a thick tan head. Aroma is molasses/syrup, coffee, maybe something else I can’t identify (edit: has to be some kind of dried fruit). Full bodied, lots of roasty, toasty, biscuit flavors, with a little puckering bitterness. Lots of coffee. Oaky? Definitely some chocolate. Not a session beer, but very interesting. Kirill (264), Durham, North Carolina, USA Aug 4, 2007 for once a guinness that doesnt absolutely blow. very dark, chocolate and coffee with hints of wood and a complex flavor that isnt the watery 4% draught shit. jspruit (111), Dublin, Ireland Aug 2, 2007 This is now available more and more around in Ireland-at a relatively affordable price too so that is nice. Poured a jet black from a 330mL bottle with a large creamy tan thick head.
Smells of coffee and molasses and syrup-your tastbebuds already feel a bit heavy when your nose is working.
Tastes of a great stout-more fullness than your average draft stout. Coffee and malty and a bit sweet at the end too-maybe even a bit nutty and chocolaty too. This is definitely a full stout, and I feel like I can detect a bit of the alcohol so I know that it is strong.
I would like to drink more than one of these in a session, but I dont think that I really could handle too many. It is a great beer to enjoy though and I am glad that they are more available to me everyday now! bbp182 (255), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 27, 2007 This is wow, I like this stout. one of my favorites. very dark brown/black. chocolate looking head. very thick.
