Commercial Description:
You want bitter? You got it! Very malty with a strong roast barley flavour. Black as pitch and so thick you could just about eat it with a spoon. An excellent stout.

Bottle. Opaque black with tan head. Aroma of dark roast malt, with chocolate and coffee and a hint of fruit. Medium body with lots of fluffy carbonation. Taste is dark roast malt with drak chocolate some balancing tart flavours and a fair amount of bitterness that lingers. It is a good stout.

Saborosa, com amargor entre chocolate e café, não prejudicado pelo álcool. Espuma escura e vigorosa.

Bottle - Poured a black hue with medium tan head in a tulip glass Aroma was a mix of roasted malt and woody aging. coffee and burnt carmel over wellmed the taste. Flavor was full with roasted malt. The finish was short and was more bitter than other stouts I have tasted. Drinkable, but not the first choice.

Good head, but depends on the pouring. Chocolate and cofee aroma, and a strong body. Creamy and soft at the beginning, but bitter as you reach the end. A very good stout.

Uma das melhores do estilo, ao meu ver. Para quem gosta de stout, essa breja é uma ótima opção. Coloração preta, espuma marrom volumosa e de média duração, deixando uma fina (muito fina) camada perene e marcas nas laterais da taça. Presença marcante de café e malte torrado. Aroma e sabor agradáveis. Conjunto equilibrado e harmônico. Álcool na medida. Carbonatação média/alta. Encorpada. Final longo, tostado e amargo. Bela surpresa!

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Very malty stout. Roast flavors and sweetness of brown sugar/molasses. Pretty good.

Good stout, evident banana in the aroma. Roasty and sweet and just simply a nice thing to drink any given day. Yum yum.

750ml bottle. Best after 07/05/08...gotta love Coopers and their bottle conditioned beers! Emensly dark black body with a thick orangey tan-to-brown head painting the glass. Even when chilled, this beer gives off a robust oily, charcoal, nutty malt aroma. Notes of espresso, rich toffee, bitter chocolate and dark fruit come through as it warms. Body isn’t a huge as one would assume; very slippery oily texture, quite high slightly creamy carbonation makes it easy to down, astrigency cuts through quite quickly, coating the mouth and lingering for damn near an entirnity, length alluding to strength without being apparent. Grainy malts pack the body. Charcoal, wood, coffee, dark chocolate, roasted malt, burnt toast, some toffee, black grape tannin, dark berry and plum in there. Finish is dry, lots of bitterness, some bread and even espresso-like at times. Very well made stout, big length and strength that could easily be overlooked to the established stout drinker.
