| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 5, 2009 330mL bottle from Regional. Pours pitch black, with a brown bubbly head that fades to a thin layer.
Beautiful aromas of chocolate malt, dark fruits and smooth vanilla. Some alcohol, but very complex aromas.
Intense flavours, pushed through with the 8% abv. Very roasted as you’d expect, coffee like roast malts which fade to more of a chocolate in the finish. Silky smooth texture and full flavour make this an outstanding stout, the finish lasts for yonks and is very warming.
Yuuuuuum, my goodness, my Guinness! Oakes (8093), gone rambling, Vietnam
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Amber-dark brown. Fruity-molassesy aroma. Chewy taste with dark, dense fruitcake. Pruney, with lots of depth. Finishes a little bit watery for its size, but it’s one of the better Guinnesses out there. Beershine (2710), Where Climate Suits My Clothes, Vietnam

Black, beige head. Sweet bubblegummy aroma. A touch malty, some toffee. Pleasant burntness, and quite good biting hops - with full green buds in the finish. Covers 8% very well. Well balanced, but a little sweet.
