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.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 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.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 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

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.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 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.
