Fin (2357), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Sep 29, 2008 Picked this up in Superbrugsen somewhere in Denmark Pours black with mid brown head. This is a good solid stout, nice dry bitterness, coffee granules, not so much sweetness. Good stuff. cellar (386), Dublin, Ireland Sep 16, 2008 Pitch black, fast dissapering head. Light burned malty aroma of liquorice, dark chocolate, coffee with notes of spices. Flavour is sweet with bitter finish with some dryness. austone (447), Turku; Pori, Finland Aug 28, 2008 Opaque dark brown, dark beige espresso head. Aromas of liquorice, syrupy malts, burned but smooth. Flavor is dry wood, liquorice, little menthol and grain. A bit grainy, but enjoyable strong stout. Pinball (593), Allerød, Denmark Aug 26, 2008 aroma : nice, vanilla,sugar, banana, slightly fruity.
totally dark, brown smooth not-so-large head.
flavor : faint chocolate, roasted coffee?, faint banana smoothie, ends rather sweet, like chocolate cream, combined with roasted stuff and coffee.
palate is quite thick, sort of matches the vanilla.
overall an okay stout, good stuff in there, but it draws down that it feels like it’s a banana-stout-smoothie. also the roasted stuff and coffe seems to be much stonger than the other flavors, rendering it a bit unbalanced. stobbe74 (254), Denmark Aug 25, 2008 Bottle, 50cl. Pours a dark beer with a brown head. The aroma is fruity with roasted malts and some chocolate. The flavor is dark malts and chocolate with notes of coffee. The carbonation is a little strong. Average stout.
