Mar 23, 2008 Updated: Apr 5, 2008What a nice suprise this one. Pours a very deep brown with no light getting through at all and a lasting tanned head. Aroma of intense roasted malt & coffee with a hint of chocolate & liquorice. A watery texture, I found this to be really smooth on the palate with each mouthful enjoyable as the last. A really good find.

Mar 23, 2008 (Sri Lanka) Black color with a nice Med Brown Head. It has a enjoyable Roasted/Coffee Aroma, The Flavor kinda has a Molasses/Raisins sweetness!!! You don’t really taste the 8.0 % which is very nice. I was very pleased by this one, If you can find it give this one a try!!!

Mar 23, 2008 Nice, quite sweet taste with roasted malt, coffee, liquorice and chocolate. Much beer for a quite low price here in Sweden.

Mar 23, 2008 Very dark brown head, that dissapates quickly. Opaque black body. Flavor is roasted malt, some burnt coffee, and possibly cocoa powder. Not at all thick, but very clean and easy to drink. Not sugar-sweet, but the malt does give way to some natural sweetness. The alcohol is not even noticable, and for 8%, that is impressive. Very enjoyable stout

Mar 22, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Ebony with an active tan head. Nose is coffee, grapes and brown sugar. Medium light with fizzy carb. Taste is sweetened coffee and molasses. Bitter vegetal finish. Solid, enjoyable.

Mar 19, 2008 330 ml bottle. Pours black with dark tan head. Full head which dissolves quickly. Sweet toffee like flavors at the start with a light bitterness at the finish. Finishes dry with alcohol well hidden. Very drinkable.

Mar 16, 2008 Updated: Mar 17, 2008Bottle. Dusty hops on a supremely roast aroma, dark notes of burnt chocolate. Light nuttiness in an occasionally muddled malt profile. Pitch pour with a large, rocky, gorgeous light-medium brown head. Strong roast taste (burnt, not-quite ashy malt rather than coffee) with nutty and sweetish chocolate. Overtones of prunes and lesser molasses. Not too sweet, as others have noted; I actually find this to be rather well-balanced. Very crisp carbonation on a full body, but seems creamier with passing sips. As for the alcohol, the body is there but the burn is not. A semi-dry, soulfully dark stout with a focus on Quad-like prunic notes instead of impy stout coffee tones - and all the classier for it.
