Black with a firm grey head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted bread. The flavour is dominated by English liquorice, dark chocolate, coughing juice and sirup. A bit one-sided perhaps, but nevertheless quite good.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle 50 cl. Pours a dark red / black colour with small beige head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and malt. Flavor is much of the same, with hops and spices. Very good.

Jun 24, 2008 An old rating i finally got to entering. Aroma was a little weak with a little chocolate. Flavor was a little weak also with a little alcohol coming through. Wow those are some weak notes.

Dark red black brown with little to no head at all. Smell is really mild and subtle - I can barely pick up anything at all. Flavor is roasted burnt meat and a hint smoky almost. Not very "imperial stout" like but not awful. Drinkable, enjoyable and wouldn’t turn it down if it was offered to me. It was just not really what I was expecting.

Pours black with a small light beige head. Smell is moderate dusty and fresh chocolate. Taste is smooth and chocolately with a slight dry bittersweetness. Medium to full bodied and appropriate carbonation. Pretty tasty stuff.

May 27, 2008 Bottle shared by miketd at lb4lb’s tasting. Poured a deep brown/black color with a moderate beige head that diminished to a ring. Aroma of bittersweet chocolate, light roast, chalk, and a hint of fruitiness. Smooth, lightly chalky entry leads into a dry, bittersweet chocolate maltiness with a weird dry yeastiness. Smooth on the palate, moderately dry with some chalkiness. Not sure what it is about foreign stouts/porters, but there is something about them that I don’t really enjoy.
