2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 gmonroe10 (175) - NETHERLANDS - JUL 21, 2008
Bottle. Pours a a dark redwith beige head. Nose is delicious and edible, an extremely strong sweet toffee and a hint of vanilla. Taste is a bit less than the smell, a very pleasant toffee, creamy and buttery. Seems to be lacking a bit of complexity, and body is a bit watery- doesn’t quite live up to the hype of the smell.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 badbeer (434) - Iowa, USA - JUL 6, 2008
Dark brown with an off-white head, leaving some lacing. Smell is sweet, a little bit of cream, soft vanilla. Taste seems somewhat similar to Guinness--No, Guinness is not the only other stout I’ve had--It’s like a sweet or milk stout, it has cream-like flavors to it. Mouthfeel is as if it was a nitro beer and has a little less than medium body to it. This was drinkable, but I probably wouldn’t seek this one out. Probably worth a try if you’re in Belgium.
