Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a black with a little brownish head. Nice aromas of malt/coffee and a hint of chocolate. A little bitter in the flavor of coffee/chocolate.

[Bottle] Pours thick black with a moderate tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, dark chocolate, and some hops. Very rich and malty. Lots of chocolate and roasted barley. Slightly sweet.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 16, 2010 Pours completely opaque black with a dark thick creme head. The head diminishes a little premature, but leaves some nice lacing behind. The aroma is nicely of chocolate malts. The flavor is rather fruity with a nice touch of smoke. The body is medium with a fairly lengthy finish that is rather dry.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours black with nice dense tan head. Slight chocolate malt aroma. Slightly roasty malt profile and a thin palate. Basically an underwhelming stout, more like a dark lager.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours black with a brown head. Faint aroma of toasted grain, chocolate, and coffee overtones. Flavor is sweet, mild, fairly simple. Maybe its the ABV level, but thoughts of malt liquor popped in my head as I sampled this - the same generic sweetness and ethanol flavor. Don’t get me wrong - I like malt liquor and I like this as well, but there are much better, more flavorful, stouts out there.

Black pour with reddish background Dark tan thich head. Aroma of coffee, cardamon, molassas and alcohol. Peaty up front, coffee mid and chocolate finish with a metalic undertone. Decent smoothness. I deduct for the metal but add huge for the extreme value.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
This was particularly different. I liked the smooth silky texture and the nice look of the beer with the big tan head and the deep color. The flavor is somewhat strange and the first things that come to mind are molasses and corn flakes, but as the bottle comes along it does have nice chocolate notes, and some espresso. Alltogether this was a little sweet for me, but I will certinally buy it again.

625ml - Aroma is milky with dark malts of chocolate and caramel. Pours black with a big brown head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma but is a little more roasty. Sweet caramel covered in chocolate. Palate is creamy and dry. Tasty stuff.
