2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle at Nile Ethiopian Restaurant, Orlando. Aroma filled with molasses. Flavor is more mild. Seems to be a dark amber or brown ale. Not terrible.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a dark brown with tan head from the bottle; more like a black lager than stout. Aroma is of licorice, roasted malts, and some coriander. Taste follows suit but not as intense as smell. Well balanced and clean finish; good beer, but not quite as thick as I like for stouts.

Black brown with tan head. Licorice, mild caramel, roast, alcohol aroma and flavor. Medium bodied with medium bitterness.

2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
First of all, it doesn’t look like a stout - it’s murky brown, not even close to black, and not much head - a little smear of beige foam. Smells like coffee (a little) and brown sugar. Very sweet - some fruity notes, and some coffee. Weird.

Würziger, etwas oxidierter Beginn. Frisch, geringe Süße, mild. Gering alkoholisch, harzig. Süßlich bleibend, etwas schokoladig. Nettes, nicht sonderlich spannendes Bier. 7/11/11/9/9/9

Bottle at animal kingdom. Poured hazy brown with a fading tan head. Good lacing for a plastic cup. Not a bad beer but anything is good after a long day with kids.

1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Color is dark red, more like bock or very dark ale. Not even as dark as schwarzbier. Smell is malty. Aroma is similar to bock and fairly messy malt liquir. I cannot say I am fan of this beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
poured cloudy brown with no real head even though it was poured aggressively. smelled malts, light chocolate and possibly bananas. tasted sweet chocolate and malts not bad
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Slightly murky red-brown with a thin, patchy head. Fruity-sweet nose. Soft, somewhat syrupy texture; light carbonation. Richly sweet with elements of caramel, light molasses, corn and cola. Malty and worty, too. Only has a mild bitterness, which doesn’t really balance out all the sweetness. Not horrible, but it has some odd things going on and it’s too sweet and unbalanced.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330ml bottle pours brown in color with a small beige head that left some thin spotted lacing on the glass. Aroma is light roasted malts and hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is a caramel malty sweetness with some light roast bitterness from the malts and coffee and very mild hop presence. Medium body with minimal carbonation. A decent sweet stout but would be better with some more body and complexity.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured into red wine glass (all they had) at an Ethiopian restaurant (Addis) in Richmond, VA. Sweet and raisiny aroma. Appearance is amber prune juice. Head is flimsy and dissipates rapidly with no lacing. Taste...well, it’s not a stout, so if I look at it like a stout, it sucks. It’s a prune/fig/raisin/vinegar flavor with a lousy finish. I rarely write these words, but it’s not worth finishing. I will leave it behind. Overall I would not have bought it except it was a beer I hadn’t tried before.
