[064-20061014] 330mL (Sinha from LCBO). Raspberry medicine aroma, medium malted with woody fruit and light alcohol. Black body with a large cream long-lasting browny-pink head. Taste is creamy and big, mostly of very burnt grainy toast but with hints of malted coffee and chocolate. Big body feel, creamily coating everything inside the mouth. OVerall good flavour but it doesn’t seem to jibe with the aroma (too burnt).

This bottled brew poured a very large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized long lasting dark brown colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was a black as midnight opaque dark black color with no hop of seeing any carbonation on it. The aroma was a pleasant dark malt dough one. The mouth feel was initially tingly and finished with a malty hop bite that smoothened a short time later. The flavor was full of dark malts mild coffee molasses and hops.

Average brown creamy head that mostly lasted. Dark brown color. Good lacing. Chocolate, coffee, liquorish, dry fruit. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Heavy sweet malty flavor. Not much bitterness. Sweet finish. Very sweet for a foreign stout.

Tar coloring with thin tan head. Smells like they roasted a few tons of malt for each bottle. Strange bitter taste to it. Surprisingly thin for all its other flavor. Tasty!

Black with a thick tan head, nice lacing. Burnt/toasted malt aroma with coffee. Full bodied and lightly carbonated. Good stout taste is mildly sweet with flavors of coffee and blackened malts. A pretty decent beer here. 81605
