Pours black with a bubbly tan head that fades into a ring quickly. Great lacing. Aroma is of smoked malts, licorice, brown sugar, and some raisins. Flavor is of mellow smoked malts with a bitter finish. Some notes of raisin bread throughout the body. Medium bodied.

adnielsen (3102) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAY 21, 2011
Can @ home. Black appearance with a big, fluffy, dark brown head. Somewhat boozy, roasty, dark malty, very aromatic and powerful nose. Boozy, very roasty, dark burnt malty, powerful flavor with a very roasty and fairly boozy finish. I don’t enjoy it very much but I can see how it can be appreciated.

pushkinwow (739) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 19, 2011
341ml bottle. Pours a full brown with a huge tan head that settles. Malts, nutty, coffee, grains, bit of soy sauce, and some hops. Very roasted taste, nice bitterness from the hops, some coffee, a good finish that has some length. Haven’t had this in a while but very tasty.

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 17, 2011
Für ein Stout ist der Antrunk eher mild, eine angenehme herb-süßlich Würzigkeit mit tiefgehender Malzigkeit stellt sich erst etwas später ein. Dieses Arome erreicht schnell seinen Intensitätshöhepunkt und verharrt dort einige Zeit. Etwas bananig süß werdend, tief malzig, dieses Arome wird mit der Zeit deutlich milder. Im Abgang leicht und angenehm schokoladig, wenig herb, das Malz wird wieder intensiver. Gelungenes Stout mit genügend Tiefgang und Ausgeglichenheit. 10/11/11/12/12/11

nike (500) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 10, 2011
Nice Foreign Stout, pours black with a tan head. Aroma is sweet and roasted malts, full bodied. Taste is slightly chocolate and coffee, definitely on the sweet side. Finish has a caramel flavor.

RichardW (854) - Carlisle, Cumbria, ENGLAND - MAY 8, 2011
Bottle, Rehills, Ncl. Rich vineous nose, with ripe fruit and woodsmoke in there too. Soft palate, sweet cough mixture on the tongue, with some yeastiness and leather in the finish. A chocolatey aftertaste finishes off a superb and complex stout. Very fine.

Marheb (422) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 3, 2011
UPDATED: MAY 7, 2011 Très intéressante dès le départ avec un arôme de porto et chocolat. En bouche, ce qui frappe le plus c’est le tabac, le cuir, bien intégré avec le malt rôti. On sent l’alcool seulement loin en gorge, vraiment agréable.
