scsscs (2), Moscow, Russia does not count Aug 7, 2007 Heavily sour, black black black black!, a bit creamy, long finish. This one is the best stout i ever taste from the bottle. Realy good beer! New bottles from st Peters looks not so good as one on the picture (more ordinary), but beer is very very good as always. TheJester (694), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Aug 6, 2007 Pint bottle. Deep translucent brown - very little light gets through. Not much head, though. Aroma of smoke, bitter chocolate, expresso, and dark roasted fruit. Very nice. Taste follows along similar lines: smoke, roasted malt, coffee grounds, and some nuttiness. The alcohol is well hidden. Mouthfeel is very full and smooth. Very nice. kringlan (20), Falun, Sweden Aug 3, 2007 A warm dark-brown colour (close to black) with a relatively creamy brown head. Lacing ok. Aroma wise it would be vanilla, coffe and chocolate that protrudes. I am funnilly enough reminded of those coca cola ice-lollies I used to get as a child. Feels excitingly multifaceted to the palate. Nice fizzyness. Tastewise what stands out is vanilla, caramel, molasses, chocolate and coffe - in that order. Very pleasant to drink and in a nice looking bottle at that. degrassi (30), cypress, California, USA Aug 2, 2007 An english stout that lived up to the creamy name. Not sure if the mouthfeel was really my cup of tea, but it looked and tasted great. Overall a very enjoyable beer. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Aug 1, 2007 Updated: Jan 2, 2008great beer. just finished a bottle a few minutes ago. it doesn’t even taste like a beer and is very creamy. this is on my good list from here on out. Kalli (474), Falun, Sweden Jul 30, 2007 Liqorice and alcohol in aroma but also some milky chocolate. Hint of liqorice continues into flavour plus some bitter dark chocolate and relieving hops at the end. FatPhil (3446), Espoo, Finland Jul 30, 2007 500ml bottle (Gallows Bird, Espoo)
Jet black, thin tight head. Aroma of a used grill tray - sausages and onion fried in bacon fat. Some coffee and chocolate too. Taste is cvery dark richly roasted malt, string espresso too. Long burnt malt finish. Sammy (3934), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 28, 2007 A surprisingly good stout from a very decent established brewery. A chocolate black appearance with creamy black head. Bittersweet taste that is balanced. Overall better more enjoyable that the Guinness for Belgiums the night before.
