3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very delicate coffee aroma at first, but also something kind of candyish, maybe caramel. Actually, maybe it’s a bit like raisins. Appearance wise, it’s a beautiful beer. Solid widget can head, deadly black. Taste wise, pretty good. Kind of light in the mouth, finish is not terrific. Dies a bit quick. Taste does come around with toast, bit of chocolate and coffee again. Good beer!

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
This has been a go-to beer of choice for cooking lately--mostly due to price if not anything else. In terms of a dry stout it holds up pretty well. Starts off really strong with a nice mocha and chocolate mix of creaminess. The finish is disappointing though, fizzling out into a dry but bland ending. A solid beer, nonetheless.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Brune opaque coiffée d’une mousse de velour, créée par la technologie Guinness (elle est en canette). Une dentelle, comme dans les livres sur le sujet. Des effluves de café et de levain semble constituer le principal des arômes, tout en étant agréables. Un goût légèrement acidulé au début, interrompu seulement l’espace d’un instant par une mince saveur maltée, pour y revenir en arrière-goût pour y camper. Elle est agréable sans être mémorable.

3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
440ml can. Beautiful cascade pour, very dark colour, slighty red on the edges, huge mocha creamy head. Aroma is lots of chocolate and coffee and slight bread yeast. Taste is ok, but a little bland. Body is kind of flat and watery. Overall, starts strong, finishes poor.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a deep dark mahogany with a very long lasting tan head. takes a second to settle down. aromas of roasted malts, and brown butter. Very simple taste of roast malts, a touch of smoke. very smooth mouth feel and quit enjoyable.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Darkest black brown, artifically perfect nitrogen charged creamy tan head sloooooowly settles and lasts. Beer gas allows a muted aroma of dark sweet roasted malt. Flat and lifeless, taste of chocolate, coffee and roasted malts, lightly bitter, thin and watery. Low carbonation, light bodied, low hopped. Despite this, it is still drinkable and surprisingly flavorful, which may be why it scores so high, but not here. Short dry finish. NFL (Not For Lagerboys)

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Versé dans une pinte, ce liquide complètement noir présente une mousse crémeuse et densifié. Les parfums qui montent vers mon nez sont simples mais très efficaces. Ce sont cette même torréfaction et ces même bons grains noircis que je m’empresse de découvrir en bouche. C’est goûteux et très plaisant. Je suis agréablement surpris. L’impression en bouche est très concluante. Le liquide caresse l’ensemble de mon palais. La finale amère et soutenue reste propre, sans acidité, et élégante. Voilà un produit intéressant à faible prix et à bonheur élevé.
