thick malty caramel aroma dominates my nose, also a touch of peanut butter and dark chocolate. i kinda cheated on this one and tasted it before taking a good look at it and sniffing it out. the taste is a refreshing sweet stout with a minute amt of dryness on the finish. unfortunately, i didn’t see much head on this pour, and i was beginning to think it was out of date. there’s a little more carb than say, newcastle, but that’s about it. the flavor is still there though. it’s odd. not my fav, but definitely good for a stout.

Smells like soy sauce, kind of looks like it too. Very sweet and barely any carbonation. Strong malt flavor and some smokiness. Very smooth.

Not much discernable aroma; looks attractive enough; taste may be a good example of cream stout, but sweet silky mild stout is just not too far up there on my list

Had this With dinner at the sports bar in Lund, 50cl bottle into an English pint. Poured black with a small brown head that dissipated completely to leave a beer that looked just like a dark coke, or jagermeister without any green tint. Strange. This was odd because one of my friends got the same beer, and his head lasted a good 20min, and we poured almost the same; go figure. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, brown sugar. I was highly anticipating the first sip. Nice bitter chocolaty taste with lots of roasted malt in there, but there was an odd liquorice aftertaste that became more pronounced as the beer warmed. Palate was full, oily, and creamy, with low carbonation, like a nearly flat soda. My first cream stout, and after this experience, I don’t think that i will be seeking them out.

Dark brown, black, opaque beer.1 inch tan foam head, that lasts a long time. A lot of lace. Aroma of baking chocolate, and dark roast. Flavor is bitter, sharp, tastes like overly roasted malts and little like alcohol. A real letdown. It’s really like getting everclear up your nose, with some coffee and milk.

I wasn’t impressed with this stout. I had it a while ago but forgot the name. Just been calling it the "trying too hard beer." What I mean is, it has some flavor, actually a good amount of flavor, but it just seems artificial. No flavors in it that I really enjoyed. Pepsi One of stouts.

500 ml. Bottle. Pitch black with a light tannish head. Surprisingly smooth. Sweet and creamy as advertised.

Tasted from a 500 mL bottle purchased in Aurora, CO. Very dark pour with a dark brown-black head. Sweet aroma with a sweet creamy flavor. Smooth. Not too shabby.

Pours a dark cola almost purple color with aroma of a port wine, vanilla notes and malt. Taste is bittersweet, with a mildly acidic aftertaste. This beer looks, smells and taste high in alcohol but the bittersweet taste makes it easier to drink. Overall I enjoyed the complexity of the beer and would sample it again.

Dark brown, beige head. Mellow aroma with light fruity, tabacco and butter. Boring medium sweetness of the dark malts, high carbonation. Even with this low abv I expected much more of this. (50cl bottle)
