WesKBob (167), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Jan 31, 2008 Very thick dark head and black color. Good malty aroma. Palate is slightly more carbonated than most stouts, but not overpowering by any means. Strong carmel malt flavor with just the right hint of sweetness. A very rich, deep beer and a good example of what a stout should be.
thornecb (1141), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA Oct 11, 2008 Pours ebony into a shaker. Dark mocha head recedes to coat surface. Roasted malt aromas. Dry, creamy and dusty. Like iced milk coffee out of a metal cup. Might be good camping. lithy (206), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 6, 2008 Dark brown, reddish tints, thin cover of a light tan head. Coffee aromas, bitter roasted malts, sweet but more bitter roasted malt and smooth coffee flavors. borgination (95), Lee, Massachusetts, USA Oct 5, 2008 Dark brown with a creamy tanned head. Coffee malty aroma and a flavor with coffee and nuts. Not that great. Svesse (1811), Hässelby, Sweden Oct 5, 2008 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Black colour with creamy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of creamy chocolate and cafe latte. Malty, roasted taste with milky chocolate, cream and a smooth finish with a balanced cocoa bittreness. Smooth and velvety mouthfeel. Tasty, easy to drink and very enjoyable. tarjei (1300), Bryne, Norway Oct 5, 2008 12 fl. oz. bottle at Skallerup Klit. Abv is 4,7%. Black color with nice beige head. Aroma is sweet chocolate. Flavor is the same, and it has a bitter finish. Nice, but a bit thin.
