A very dark black beer with a faint red shine under a bubbly brown head. The aroma sweet roasted (with a bit of acidity from the roasted malt), as well as notes of coffee. The flavor is quite sweet with notes of licorice and coffee - the coffee being a bit bitter as very hard roasted coffee, the end is bitter with a weird coffee note lingering for some time. The body is surprisingly thin the ABV taken into account.

Bottle at home. This is a dark-colored beer. Very spicy, with a licorice, coffee and toffee taste.

Black, brown head. Malty aroma with alot of rum and burnt sugar. Malty, flavor, a bit salty and sugary. Malty finish.

Thanks to Matta for this one, which boosts both my Dark Side score and my Jamaica score, mon! The pour was deep brownish, with aromas of dark malt, chocoff, and slight vegetal notes. The palate was on the light side for a stout, but the 8% stayed fairly well hidden, and the taste, which was on the sweet chocolatey side, stayed consistent.
