Mar 20, 2009 Bottle, St. Lucia/Piton brewery version. Pours black, opaque, and with a thick foamy head and leaving some lacing. Aroma of molasses, malt, and some tartness in the background. Fairly high in carbonation. The flavors are strange with a lingering acrid finish and not enough malt sweetness. Instead it tastes burnt and bitter. Comes across as a strange brew, and I’m told that’s due to its being brewed with the Piton base beer.

Mar 12, 2009 Pours a deep black liquid with a very thick foamy brown head that stay a long time and a good amount was left at the end. Aroma is very strong roasted malts. Flavors are quite powerfull , smoky, roasted malts and chocolates and some coffee, bitter and not sweet just on the right level. This is a very well made brew, super nice and very enjoyable.

Mar 2, 2009 Flaske. Sødlig duft på en mørkebrun øl. Ristet malt er tydelig, men igen på en sødlig måde. Fin øl som er en smule bedre end dens mindre stærke fætter.

Feb 25, 2009 ersma: ein legendäres bier, das weltweit gebraut und getrunken wird. meines kommt aus irland.
typische, schwarz-braune farbe, die nur darum minimal durchscheinend ist, weil das bier im pils-glas steckt (0.33 l im original pint-glas sähe albern aus). ein berg schaum, der bräunlich daherkommt, aber wesentlich grober ist als beim draught. dazu wird er beim gemächlichen absacken sehr grob und hinterlässt lücken.
sehr herber, würziger geruch mit röst- und kaffe-aromen. antrunk extrem würzig und aromatisch: röstmalz, bittere, kaffee, schoko, kirsche - alles drin. alkohol schlägt leicht durch. die mitte ist sehr herb und würzig. malz wird im hintergrund schmeckbar. im abgang likörartig-alkoholisch. wesentlich milder und malziger als zuvor. bittere im hintergrund. insgesamt unglaublich geschmacksintensiv und abwechslungsreich, schmeckt wie stout-konzentrat. allein der schmeckbare alkohol stört etwas. das bier unterstreicht mal wieder meine erfahrung, dass von der insel hervorragende biere kommen.
hauseigene flasche mit geprägter harfe am halsansatz. etiketten sind wie immer gestaltet, also durchweg gut.

Feb 1, 2009 Pours black with a large fluffy brown head that leaves its mark on the glass as it dissipates. Has an aroma of wood, smoke, and roast. Flavor is a little watery still but an immense improvement over the standard guinness products. This is actually quite enjoyable since I started trying different brews with guinness, I love that malty, woody, smoky, coffee flavor of guinness. This brew is all of the flavor that makes regular guiness good, but with more intensity that makes this brew great. A nice strong borderline session brew.

Jan 30, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Poopty peupty pants. Every single aspect of this brew, be it aroma, flavor, or appearance has poop in it. There are other aspects, but the initial adjective before those aspects is poopy. Not good. Only thing extra about this brew is the poop.

Jan 16, 2009 This is wildly good. Has the consistency of pitch. Almost. And the color of is darker than black. Yes, darker. We have the coffee-brown head, just as rich as ever. Taste is powerful: coffee, chocolate, soil. It’s really good.
