Sep 11, 2006 A black, brown coloured beer with a weak milky coffee coloured head. From the moment the bottle is opened there is a distinctly fruity aroma, sweet berries, red grapes, then a roasted coffee smell, that blends into liquorice, caramel and malt. The taste is bitter with a full mouthfeel. There is a complex array of fruit flavours to begin with then there is a smooth, mellow malty flavour, slightly sour, with liquorice, burnt sugar, dark chocolate and coffee leading to a long, bitter sweet finish. (Bottle - purchased from the brewery’s stall @ the 2005 Sandringham Christmas Food Fair).

Sep 6, 2006 Poured jet black, like motor oil but looked a little thinner. Almost no head to speak of. Aroma was of strong chocolate and some hops. Flavor followed suit, mostly chocolate. Mouthfeel was different, nice and thick but flavor was almost thined out. Good beer, not great.

Aug 30, 2006 500 ml bottle, at Haket, Göteborg. Served with a Chimay glass. Black colour, low tan head. Nice roasty aroma with strong notes of prunes and chocolate, hints of liquorice and pipe tobacco. Flavour is creamy and mellow, but also distinctly roasty with notes of coffee and chocolate. A very fine beer.

Aug 29, 2006 Great stout! Pours what appears to inky black, but settles out into a midnight brown. Minimal brown head. Nice mouthfeel - thick. Nice toasty bittersweet chocolate in the nose. Chocolate, coffee, sweet tar, licorice, and a slight tang on the tongue. And a great looking bottle!

Aug 21, 2006 Poured black with a nice head on it. Aroma was sweet with a nice malt background. Nice and smooth when drinking. I love stouts and the cream adds a nice smoothness to the beer.

Aug 20, 2006 1 pint .9 oz bottle. Poured a deep brown, almost black color with a tan colored head. Aroma was very chocolatey and sweet. The taste was dark chocolate, cream notes and very smooth on the palate. Not a lot of activity but definately a good sipping beer, very enjoyable even when warm.
