guyinchicago (420), marengo, Illinois, USA Jun 21, 2009 Pours meduim body,black and brownish red around the edges with small tan head aromas of peat,coffee.smoke and malts flavors of all of the above a nice sweet stout but just not great one. Ethereal (1458), London, Greater London, England Jun 20, 2009 500ml bottle. Pitch black with a line of tan head. Full bodied and smooth, with just a hint of oiliness. Quite sweet at first, with a roasted bitterness coming through towards the finish. Nice liquorice flavours on the aftertaste. Aroma a little muted. johnnygm (28), Santiago, Chile Jun 19, 2009 A great beer for winter. Full body, toasted aromas and bitter chocolate flavour makes this beer one of the best stouts I’ve tried. BeerHawk (1050), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Jun 18, 2009 Bottle. Poured black with a creamy tan head that had some lasting and good lace. Aromas of dark chocolate, toffee, and cocoa. The flavor found dark chocolate, coffee, roast, and light hops. Medium to full body with a bitter roast coffee aftertaste. Nice! PapaSkeetSkeet (36), , Massachusetts, USA Jun 16, 2009 I had this one about three weeks ago so I don’t remember the exact details of the aroma, but The Flavor was a beautiful creamy roasted malt. Full bodied, great impression. I’ll add more details when I have it again, great beer! Markys (50), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 13, 2009 Aroma of coffee, raisin and roasted malt. Flavor of liquorice, raisin, roasted malt and dark chocolate. It also has a nice bittersweet finish. jtodd5dot1 (9), Marina, California, USA does not count Jun 11, 2009 Poured and looked like any standard stout, dark smooth though not with much head but a lot of carbonation. Much easier to drink for us dark beer novices. Not very bitter, very complex taste, with very little to no mocha or coffee taste (thank goodness!). italarican (83), Astoria, New York, USA Jun 6, 2009 Pours a deep brown with subtle tan head. Aroma of roast malt and something sweet, perhaps the cream. I like the mix of cocoa and malt flavors with only a minimal touch of alcohol. A nutty aftertaste. Some density, although not as thick as I’d expect.
