4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
650ml bottle. Pours out black with a mocha head. Aroma is big on custard, vanilla and toffee. Hats off to them because it really does call to mind a crème brûlée dessert. Taste starts with lactose smoothness and sweet sensations before adding roasty bitterness as it finishes. Vanilla is also a big presence and works well against the roast. A really fascinating beer; my only complaint is that it was hard to sink a whole bomber of this stuff. In a smaller measure this would be wonderful.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours black with little head. Smell is sickeningly sweet, toffee, caramel, coffee, brown sugar, sticky. Taste is hot, sweet, sticky, toffee, grainy, herbs, nothing bitter at all. Sweet desert beer, like an Irish Car Bomb but in a beer, great.
4.1 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is easily the best smell to ever enter my nose. Smells like burnt sugar, marshmallows, maple syrup etc... Sweet! Dark and sweet. Flavors of vanilla, cooked marshmallows, and some coffee lingering. Great brew but definitely need to share the bomber with a friend. 22oz alone could be a bit much.
2.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours jet black with a paperthin head that disapates almost instantly. Aroma of vanilla, heavy vanilla but in a nice way. Taste is too much, overly sweet thin for a stout to thin for my liking. I’m sure some people like this but no one at my table could enjoy it, my wife is going to bake brownies with it, I hope it goes to good use.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours black at as night and thick as waffle house syrup. Aroma is very vanilla, slighty creamy with a carmelly hint. Flavor is kinda sharp at first, more carbonation than I was expecting, vanilla floods the palate followed by Carmel and toasted malts. Very good after dinner brew!
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Great dessert beer. The smell of this is just phenomenal, and the taste is not far behind. I could use a little less bitterness on the finish, but then it may be too sweet altogether. I’m not complaining, I thoroughly enjoyed it...just slight nitpicking. Very smooth, great lacing and mouthfeel, but not something I could drink a lot of.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Backlog from opening night at Schouskjelleren
Dark color, ok foam
Full bodied and high complexity
Intense Creme Brulee taste
Well, I prefer creme Brulee with a spoon
4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Pours pitch black with tiny tan fizz. Smells strongly of vanilla. Taste is strongly of vanilla with a little roasted character. Full-bodied with a sticky texture and mild mouth-carbonation, Southern Tier Creme Brulee stout finishes with a lingering sweetness.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap @ Radio Maria. Deep darkest brown, appears still with no head. Incredible aroma and flavour of caramel fudge cake, densely flavourful, very sweet-- almost syrupy but pulls back in time from being too much. This is magical stuff, dessert in a glass. Definitely not a session brew, but as a treat it is truly outstanding.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pitch black body with almost no head, some residual mocha foam. Aroma is super sweet: caramel, condensed milk, toffee, and a faint hop hint. Taste is again super sweet, condensed milk, caramel, burned sugar, roasted malt, chocolate, some smokiness. Warming alcohol effect. Interesting.
