robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Sep 26, 2007 pours an opaque with a medium size khaki head.
smell is of roasted dark chocolate, coffee, black licorice.
taste is a creamy bitter chocolate and espresso, smooth and dry in the end, the only draw back is it is a bit sour after a few swallows.
very, very nice!!!!! a keeper. BeerBiker (1384), Odense, Denmark Sep 19, 2007 [Sampled in 2005.] Wow a great beer. Long enjoyment and would open one more. Much coffee and could need more chocolate, but all in all a nice example from Suffolk. Smooth Acknud (770), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Sep 15, 2007 Dark brown pour with some ruby highlights when held to a light. Creamy head. Aroma of licorice, dark fruit and chocolate. Taste is very roasted with chocolate, molasses and roasted malt. Thick mouthfeel. polomagnifico (532), Saginaw, Michigan, USA Sep 13, 2007 Bottle. Aroma is of weak malt. Black with good lace and tan head. Some bitterness but weak flavor. Watery flat. Overall a weak brew with an odd aftertaste. onlyrocknroll (218), Cork, Ireland Sep 10, 2007 Black with a dark brown head. Aroma of hop bitterness and roasted malt. Smooth but thin mouthfeel. Big dry coffee and chocolate flavours, gaining in bitterness towards the finish. A fine rounded stout. glip (21), Kitchener, Ontario, Canada Sep 9, 2007 Lovely aromas of mocha, slight charred tastes and a bit of coffee aroma in there as well. Creamy mouthfeel and very well balanced sweetness that balances the alcohol nicely. Fukito (604), Buenos Aires, Argentina Sep 9, 2007 Bottle, August 07. Stong liquorice, chocolate aroma with some dried fruits and nutty notes. Very nice. Opaque black color with a nice, creamy, beige head that diminishes to a rim. Strong coffee/ chocolate flavor with some vanilla notes and bitternes at the end. Silky, medium mouthfeel, almost velvety. Very gentle with a dry ending. Nice mix between a chocolateish porter and a filling sweet stout. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA Sep 7, 2007 Smooth and creamy with an excellent edge. Hard to judge it beyond that, except to say that I love it. Sometimes words aren’t necessary.
