Odd beer. Conbini beer from a brewery I have never heard of. And yes, it’s spelt staut. Thin body and not overtly chocolaty. Some fruity noses a hint of raisin, but noting special. Solid but not too appealing.

Bottle. Black with a fine, low, chocolate milkshake head. Malty, chewy aroma, with chocolate, caramel, a bit of smoke, and some roasted malts. Sweet and creamy on the whole, with restrained burnt notes and just a touch of dried fruit. Light malts, rather fruity flavor, a bit of chocolate, wood, mineral water, and a good sour dose. Lacks the usual roastiness of a stout. A bit too fruity, and the body also too light. Not bad, but not really a stout. Too thin and fruity.

Bottle. Deep red brown with a medium tan head. Sweet roasted coffee aroma and flavours. A hint of licorice. A bit flat. Not much to write home about, but drinkable enough.

Bottle. Pours a deep red-brown colour with a medium creamy beige head. Sweet roasted malt and chocolate in the aroma. Very good mouthfeel. Nice roasty maltiness, chocolate, slight liquorice and bit of coffee in the flavour. Long lasting roasty choco finish.

Bottle. [thank you, faroeviking]
Pours a great mahogany bordering on deep deep red. Fine creamy beige head with fine lacing. Aroma is mild, some fruitiness, chocolate and hard roasted malts. Fine, light mouthfeel. Flavour has good sweet chocolate, great hard roasted malts but still soft. Super-long aftertaste. Great stout!

33 cL bottle, thanks to faeroeviking. Pours dark brown and with a reddish hue and lacing brown head. Hard roasted malt aroma. Flavour is smooth roasted malt. Light liqourice note in addition to chocolate. Light roasted finish with a light fruity note.

Near black with medium off white head. Weak aroma with light malty notes. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes. Ends sweet.
