Kolsvart öl med cappuccinofärgat skum. Här är det mängder med danskt rågbröd i doften, men också mörk choklad och kaffe. Samma går igen i smaken, ihop med vanilj. Också anas viss surhet, är det röda vinbär? Mycket väl sammansatt öl.

Bottle. Very dark with thick tan head that slowly dissipates and has some nice lacing. Smells of coffee and chocolate covered cherries. Moderate bitterness, roasty, and a little astringency. Clean bitter finish, fairly light bodied.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a black with a big beige head. Aroma is very unusual. Chocolate, lots of toffee, and actually some orange citrus aromas. Taste has come coffee, to go along with what I expected from the aroma, that is chocolate, less toffee, and readily apparent orange. Orange and chocolate aftertaste. Very sticky and full when drinking, with a good amount of carbonation. Unique stout. Maybe not my favorite, but you won’t be disappointed, and definitely one you want to try.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured a thick blackish brown out of the can, with a nice tan head and some solid lacing on the way down. Scents of spices (apparently brewed with coriander), and dark roasted and fruity malts. Taste is unique to any stout I have ever head; the typical soy sauce from a canned stout, but also lots of layers of malts, with a bit of an alcoholic backbone. Definitely well worth the try, but not a day to day drinker for stouts.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Originally reviewed: 4/12/10. Had this beer at a cookout this last weekend. Someone knew I liked stouts, so they grabbed this for me. Poured it into a mug. Pours a thick oil-like black with a large tan head on top. Very good retention; left lots of sticky lace clinging to the glass. Scents of dark fruits, milk chocolate, and some roasted malts.
The body was pretty wet and slick. I expected more here. Too watery. The taste was not doing it for me. Some sourness present reminded me of some milk stouts. Other flavors noted were grape, and faint chocolate notes. Nothing standout here. I couldn’t even finish this one. Something about it just wasn’t pleasant. I’ll pass on this one.
