Aug 3, 2008 Can 473ml. Pours a black opaque body with average carbonation and a thin brown bubbly/frothy head. Nice malty/hoppy aroma with roasty and dark chocolate hints. Taste is well balanced, but it lacks the robustness I was expecting. Ends with a short bitter/roasty finish. Ordinary.

Jul 20, 2008 Okay not sure if I have the right beer here. I had a 1 Liter Limited edition Hockley Stout, number 291107... which rates quite a bit higher then this. Here’s my rate for what I think was this beer:
Very dark pour with not too much head. Stong coco and coffee scent. Nice rich flavour of malts caramel and spice. A very pleasing roasted finish. One of the best, if not the best Stout I have ever had.
Told you it may not be this beer. If anyone knows where I have gone wrong please send me a message.

Jul 18, 2008 The aroma is dusty, detergenty and has dark fruit and mild chocolate notes. Not a great start. The body is black and it holds a thin tan head. Chocolate, light roasted malt notes, dark fruits, some coffee, but it is mostly sweet and as it warms it intensifies and becomes a fairly enjoyable beer to drink. Not bad.

Jun 30, 2008 A deep dark stout with mahoganey hues and a thick moka head. Caramel and chocolate aroma, with light diacetyl notes. In mouth, a good chocolate malt with light peaty notes. Light yet refreshing. Can from LCBO, tasted May 2007.
