way over priced and way to sweet for my taste.

This stout has a great coffee and cocoa flavor

I enjoyed this Stout every bit as much as Samuel Smith’s Imperial, if not more. An excellent sweet stout which I have no problem drinking more than one of in a sitting
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Duffbeer (192) - Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 24, 2002
Was greatly disappointed by this beer. Not a very good stout in my opinion, and I like stouts. Not even close to a Guinness, or a Murphy’s.
4.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20 SilkTork (4738) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - SEP 22, 2002
Justifiably famous, this fruit and nut concoction is made from the waters of Lovers Leap waterfall 7,000 feet above sea level. The fruits are dark but lively - blackcurrant and prune, with tawny port overtones. The nuts are almond and pistachio. This is a complex and flavoursome beer which offers something new with each mouthful. Stouts are not to everyone’s taste, but this is mellow enough to be an excellent introduction. As a lover of dark brews this gets full marks from me.

Truly interesting. Balanced. A bit chocolate, a bit lactic sweetness, a bit roasty. I had no idea it was 8%. Not my fave, but very very smooth and nice. Good arome, better taste.

Very excellent stout, black in color, great lacy head, coffee undertones, a little bit of a smokey aftertaste, lots of great flavors, full bodied, great stout

Deep color, tan head, somewhat bitter, flavorfull... a very nice stout.
1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20 stormking (23) - Cuddy, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 24, 2002
Never been robbed before I tried this beer. Glad I had it today so I won’t have the displeasure tomorrow. Looked like a nice enough fellow, good color, a dark foamy head. Lots of boom in the first (hmm what is a very, very small amount of time) ok, as soon as it hits. It’s fizzy (in a stout?) If you can do without the initial flavor, order a Coors light and save yourself 3 bucks. Give me my Guinness please.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 Wakie (612) - Centreville, Virginia, USA - AUG 15, 2002
Coffee with a bite. It fizzed in my mouth. I’m not used to having a stout fizz. A very interesting experience, had the appearance of a nice chocolate head on it but that was lacking from my taste of it. I’ll give them credit for trying something different but if you want a stout there are better options. Still, probably the best beer you can get in the Indian Ocean.
