Roasty malt, slight vegatable/swamp. Flavour is sweet and roasty malt. Long lingering but a bit onesided.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Tokyo. Japanese labels and 8,8% markings, BBE 12.04.2012. Rated on 19.09.2011
Salty liquorice and hints of roastiness in the aroma. Smooth palate. Flavour is also roasted with salty liquorice. Hops override the taste at the end. Good foreign stout, but could be richer (like foreigns in general.)

WVHouseofBeer (629) - Kissimmee, Florida, USA - SEP 18, 2011
Pours black with a nice tan head that leaves some lacing. Aromas of dark chocolate, coffee and molasses. Flavors of bitter dark chocolate, coffee and just overall delicious malty goodness. Medium to heavy bodied. A surprisingly easy drinker. Excellent beer.

Sinha Stout 330ml - Aussi noire qu’une bière peut l’être. Elle est riche est crémeuse à souhait. Il ne faut donc pas trop incliner le verre sinon elle ne fait pas beaucoup de mousse. C’est une bière qui, malgré son 8.8% d’alcool, est très douce au goût. Les arômes de café et de chocolat noir sont très prononcés. Légèrement amère. Bref, excellente bière!

teorn88 (564) - Rimini, ITALY - SEP 3, 2011
Nearly black, with a huge head. Sweet rather sorghum-like aroma. Touches of smoke and tar as well. Coffee and loads of sweet malt flavor. Quite light bodied. Fairly sweet, sucrose-like. Very flavorful, though, and I like this.
