SoLan (1369), Orlando, Florida, USA Oct 21, 2005 Black/dark brown, ruby hues-bubbly off white head-small bits of yeast floating in suspended animation-looks like a still photo of a beer. Aroma-roasty, burnt chocoffee, malt, port, touch of yeast. Same flavor with nice hints of port in finish and aftertaste. Full, creamy body with the right amount of carbonation. Very good. badnewsbeers (1026), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Oct 16, 2005 an okay appearance for a stout..dark brown..almost black with little head...aroma is of roasted malts and licorice...flavor is the same with a bitter aftertaste...light hops as well as an aftertaste...okay palate
KAggie97 (2406), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA Oct 14, 2005 Bottle. Pours a rich brown/black. Aroma is eerily reminiscent of a Belgian white, with sharp hints of citrus and yeast. A slight coriander seems to be lingering in the back of the nose. Head is beautiful and full and it provides intricate lacing around the glass. Smokey flavor, with a dry malt taste and hollow hops. In fact, this beer could be accused of being a smoked beer. I’m liking this beer even though it doesn’t taste as advertised. Palate is a tad watery, but one hardly notices since the flavors are the main focus here. Grab one if you can.. Retorp (2154), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 10, 2005 I don’t get much aroma here. Some very mild roasted barley malt is all. Deep black with a VERY lively tan head. Mildly roasty, but the intensity is very low. Almost no flavor here. Very dissapointed with this. I bought this and a stout called Kinmount Willie at the same time. I figured this would shine and the Willie would be mediocre, but it was the exact opposite. Aurelius (2643), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Oct 5, 2005 Bottled. Incredible sherry aroma, lots of oak, vanilla. Leather, chocolate, chewing tobacco and peat. Palate dings for excessive fizziness and then going watery - needs more mouth. Started spectacularly, finished moderately. Still very good. Paskal (146), La Prairie, Quebec, Canada Sep 18, 2005 Bouteiile-Odeur de de brûlé sucré, mousse brunâtre abondante, liqueur noir opaque avec des résidus dans le fond, goût de malte brûlé, un peu amer mais sec en bouche, doux arrière-goût--Bottle- Sweety roasted smell, strong brown head, dark black liquid with particules floating in it, roatsed malt, a bit bitter but dry in the mouth, sweet after taste. JK (2945), Richfield, Minnesota, USA Sep 18, 2005 Kind of disappointing. Some malt in the aroma. There was a vinous quality to the taste, but it was overwhelmed by a powerful flavor of ok, even though this was from a bottle. Dry finish. Black, with a thick but short lived head. GonZoBeeR (2156), ste-Eulalie, Quebec, Canada Sep 12, 2005 Aroma:rosted malt...
Appearance:Very dark borwn,good tan head...
