Dark pour biege head good size aroma coffee caramel cocoa flavour coffee cartamel malty chocolate not rich vanilla smoothness chocolate and caramel give a goog taste finish very malty and a lasting bitter slightly sry

Bottle. Pours almost black with a creamy brown head. Light roasted aroma of toast, coffee and dark chocolate. The flavour is toast, coffee and dark chocolate. There’s great balance here with a full bodied maltiness and enough hop bitterness and hint of licorice. Smooth and bitter finish. A top stout...very nice!

Tap at Bar Edward. Pours black, thin tan head.
A smooth aroma, vanilla and coffee with a bit of caramel sweetness.
A robust flavour, plenty of coffee - espresso like bitterness. A wee bit of dark fruit on the finish which is long and roasty.
A very tasty, classic robust Stout. This beer is on good form at the moment.

dark chestnut brown pour with a light brown bubbly head that collapses into a rim-hugging halo. Nice aromas of coffee and chocolate, slightly sweet with hints of molasses. No ash or vegetation. Semi-sweet palate, medium bodied leaning toward heavy. Classic stout flavours of burnt roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate with a solid bitter finish. Truly classic in profile, with good balance and generous flavour. Very nice.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very deep, dark brown - almost black - with an orange hue and a fine, rough, beige head. Burned aroma with a whiff of licorice. Solid body with burned coffee notes and again some licorice. Some malt astringency. Very neat. 200208

Tasted in New Zealand. Pretty dark with small head. Tastes of licorice. Bitter aftertaste. Oily.

2l Rigger from the brewery - aged 5 months and was in tip top shape! Everything a good stout should have. Nice thick creamy coffee like head all through the glass. Aromas and flavours of coffee, chocolatesand lovely roasted malts. Nice work Dick.

Tasted 20/06/2005. 500ml bottle from Regional’s, Wellington. Inky black with a diminishing but lasting, tight, tan head. Big roasty aroma of coffee, chocolate and toast. Rich, oily, medium-heavy mouthfeel delivers a smooth roasted malt bitterness with no obvious hop presence. A little sourness in the flavour. Those who like a black coffee in the morning, should be drinking this in the evening. My favourite of a good Lighthouse range.

light body, Black colour, slightly weak flavour with hints of roasted malt but not strong enough

Bottled. Black Some coffee up front, but mostly vinegary and acidic. Some soft malt, but too little of everything, inkluding bitterness. Except for the vinegar of course. Like mutant Ihad my sample at AIBA 2005, and I can only assume that it wasn’t in top shape.
