12 oz bottle from Bottleworks in Seattle. Pour looks like cola, color, carbonation , the head - really everything. Sharp aroma of scotch malt. Taste is really thin bodied, almost like a watered down scotch ale. In a blind tasting, I would have never guessed Foreign Stout on this one. Oh well, Ethiopia, check!

Pours a light brown/red with a thin head. Light caramel nose.Weird scotchlike flavour, touch of sourness. Not many stout characteristics.Still I hadn’t rated anything from Ethiopia yet.

Dark clear brown with a thick light moka head. A rather milkey aroma, candy, and toffee, a bit vinous. In mouth, a rather buttery stout, with rather strange milk notes, light chocolate pudding, a bit roasted. Not bad, not good. Bottle from Sherbrooke Liquors, Edmonton, Alberta, Jan.2007.

Bottle: Almost clear and not quite brown. It definitely doesn’t look like a stout! It has an aroma of butter, cream cheese frosting and something that almost makes your stomach feel weird. The flavor is odd - rancid butter. It makes you cringe. Thanks BückDich, I think.

Bottle Pours a hazy medium chestnut color. Small off white head after a fairly aggressive pour. Aromas are of apple, honey, light roasted malts and some spices like cinnimon. Flavor is sweet, a bit cardboardy. More like a sweet brown ale. This softly carbonated palate. The best beer Ive ever had that claims to have been made at a "Beer Factory"Thanks Jordan My first Ethiopian beer

330 Bottle Pours out a dark amber topped with a light tan head. Aroma of red vine. A little odd on the tast but not to bad. Thanks Jordan

Bottle: Thanks to Jordan for sharing. Pours a hazy reddish, mahoghany with a small white head that dissapated quickly. Nose is fruity, even a bit of winelike qualities. Bubbles tingle on the tongue with tastes of fruit, raison, wine, and a sour blend. Not what you’d expect a stout to look like; nor what you’d expect a stout to taste like. Leaves a lot to be desired...

Bottle: Amber color, no head or lacing. The nose is very caramelly and diacetyl...y. The flavor is metallic and sweet with plum, no roast nor coffee nor cocoa, some funky hop and rotten fruit blend into a formitable negative barrier. Thin body and mouthfeel with a very untasty finish. Needs more stout and less Worthers original. Easily the most kick ass beer in Ethiopia unfortunately by the looks of things.
