Svesse (4215) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - JAN 5, 2009
(Canned) Very dark brown, almost black, with creamy, pale brown head. Roasted, malty nose with milky chocolate, cocoa, dark bread and hints of ashes or smoke. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark bread, chocolate, coffee and dried fruit. Mainly dry, fairly thin body. Rather low bitterness with some cocoa shining through in the finish. Definitely a decent low abv version. In short: thin stout with dark chocolate, dark bread and a hint of smoke.

Can, 3.5%. OK roasted aroma, roast barley. Clear very dark brown colour, stable creamy light brown head. Roasted flavour, plenty of roast barley. Quite flavourful.

yespr (20656) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - DEC 30, 2008
50 cL can. Pours dense dark brown with a dense/creamy tan head. Roasted malt aroma, light chocolate note. Smooth malty and roasted flavoured. Light acidic touch into a bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel. Light carbonation into the finish. Smooth and dry bitter. Surprisingly good for a 3.5.

Can. Kinda watery version of Guiness. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Decent flavor. I would not buy a whole case myself.

larsga (4435) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 10, 2008
Biggish brown-beige lasting creamy head. Dark barely translucent red body. Roasty milky caramelly aroma, mild and harmonic. Dry-sweetish roasty caramel taste with milky roasted almonds notes. Soft, mild mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry metallic burnt nutty aftertaste. Surprisingly nice. I quite liked it. [0.5l can, MaxiMat, Charlottenberg.]

faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - NOV 18, 2008
Can. Deep dark brown colour with a nice light brownish settling head. Roasted malt aroma. Rather thin mouthfeel for a dry stout. The flavour has roasted malt with some chocolate. Watered down brew.

taunusmies (309) - FINLAND - AUG 2, 2008
Pours dark brown/reddish colour with a mediumsized head. The first impression is dominated by watery mouthfeel which has an adverse effect on the whole drinking experience. Aroma is sweetish having roasted malts. Notes of smoke and coffee.

punainen6 (93) - FINLAND - JUL 26, 2008
Can. Black color with brown almost like chocolate colored head. Smells of chocolate and malts. Taste has some complexity but is sadly quite bland, watery. Aftestaste has some nsmoky and grainy notes.
