Small light brown head. Mouthfeel is slightly thin, carbonation above medium. Flavour is mild, lightly roasted. OK, but a little too mild for my liking. 6 3 6 3 12

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Nov 22, 2005 A litle coffee in the aroma, but not much. This beer is pretty much nothing. Any flavor fades quickly as it takes some metal from the bottle too. One of the worst stouts I’ve had. jasonp (1513), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Nov 16, 2005 Dark brown (almost black) with a small beige head. Light aroma of roastiness with a hint of cola. Overall very light in flavor; notes of roasted malt and some coffee and chocolate. Not sweet at all, has a touch of bitterness at the end. Unacceptably thin, watery and fizzy mouthfeel - felt like a soda. You can do a lot better than this. Nekronos (2265), Xalapa, Mexico

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 27, 2005 Kinmount Willie bottle. Pours a lovely black color with a rather thick caramel colored head. Hints of coffee and chocolate in the aroma but it’s not very strong. Coffee in the flavor with an extremely thin finish. Not a whole lot going on here. Bland as all hell.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 7, 2005 Roasted barley, rubbing alcohol and peat. Black with a thumb thick creamy mocha head. Black licorice, cane sugar, molasses and cane syrup all make appearances in the fore and middle while the end is solidly smooth maltiness. Not big or aggressive enough for most American palates I imagine, but I personally found it a refreshing change. Sigmund (2300), Hafrsfjord, Norway
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 24, 2005 500 ml bottle, bought at Vinens Verden, Odense, Denmark. Black (= very dark ruby) colour, good tan head. Pleasant aroma: chocolate, roasted barley, coffee, prunes, leather. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, faintly acidic. Mellow flavour of roasted barley / dark malts, low bitterness. Not too much going on flavourwise, does not quite live up to the expectations the aroma creates.
