ABUSEDGOAT (1882), California, USA Apr 26, 2008 Black colored, moderate sized tan head, pretty good lacing and retention. Aroma is chocolate with some roasted goodness. Medium bodied, quite dry. Not bad.
larsniclas (2794), Gothenburg, Sweden Jul 27, 2008 Draught at Porterhouse Central; dublin.
Dark brown with a small, beige head.
Fruity, citric aroma with some chocolate-toffee.
Roasted flavour with a lot of dry cocoa-bitterness. Capa (681), Yokosuka, Japan Jul 27, 2008 Dark with a deep beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, vanilla, lactose, molasses, chocolate and alcohol. Medium bodied and well carbonated, but still goes down easy. Flavor is roasted, chocolate, malty, vanilla, and some earth. Easy drinking, damn tasty stout. Nothing overpowers here, just a solid combination that makes me think I need a few more bottles. robforbes (669), Bremerton, Washington, USA Jul 26, 2008 pours a thick black (opaque) with a large brown bubbly head.
smell is cocoa, touch of coffee, licorice, slight vanilla, a whiff of smoke.
taste is thick creamy, dark and bakers chocolate, touch of espresso, end is dry and slightly bitter, a woody aftertaste. TimE (1013), Tokyo, Japan Jul 26, 2008 Pitch black color with a dark brown head. The nose is very unique with strong salty black licquorice, dark chocolate, treacles, and tobacco notes. Did I mention how salty this is? Very dry and intense mouth with salty black licquorice, dark chocolate and dark fruit. Sightly warming. Med body. Saltiness just lingers in the mouth. Truely an amazing stout that is not getting its props. Retorp (2148), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 18, 2008 The aroma is dusty, detergenty with some dark fruit and dark roasted malt. The body is black with a crazy lasting, thick mocha head. The first sip is sweet chocolate, fruity, malty and it has a very creamy feel. Lingering ashy, sweet fruit flavor with a bit of astringency.
