Score: *4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Somewhat dull and flat. Very dark brown colour. There’s sort of a burnt toffee note to this, but also some inappropriate phenols. It’s extra roasty and astringent with a hint of soy sauce. It’s big, but has little going for it. No real complexity, and the flavours and aromas do not correspond with any foreign stout I’ve ever had.

(RBSG04) Black body topped by brown head. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, cherry, some herby. Taste is sweet, chocolate cherry, herbal, some anise. Body has carbonation-induced lightness on the tongue. I don’t like how the flavors coalesce.

Bottle from Secret summer santa. Almost black and opague. Pours a huge head. Roast, coffee and dark chocolate in the aroma and flavor. Just a bit creamy mouthfeel. Cappuccino and ash in the aftertaste. Medium to full bodied, well balanced beer.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with OhioDad (thanks!). Poured a dark black color with a huge sized light brown head. Aromas of smoke, light dark fruits, light chocolate, and roast. Tastes of smoke, roast, and some caramel. Lively and fizzy body agreeing with the initial pour that this one is way too over carbonated.

(22oz bottle) Pours a brown body with a medium beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, toffee, and cocoa. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, toasted oats and light coffee.

Pours a thick black with a small ring of light brown foam. Mellow roasted and smokey aroma. Dry, crisp, almost smokey flavor with carbonation dissolved deep in the thick body. Pretty good dry stout with lots of character.

Bottle... DLD06... Rating #1500... Pitch black ale with a fizzy, brown head. The nutty, roasty aroma is a cyclone of chocolate, hazelnut and smoke. Malty-rich flavor. Lightly sweet and silky smooth. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. Finishes smoky and dry.
