Jan 15, 2008 284ml (Imperial Cup, I suppose) bottle, courtesy of csbosox. Pour is deep brown, with some ruby highlights and a surprisingly large tan head. Aroma of licorice, caramel candy sweetness (very big and raw), and roasted malt. Some wood notes in there as well. Taste is predominantly the sugary caramel, with the licorice, wood and roasted malt taking more of a back seat. The finish to this is syrupy molasses and reveals a bit of alcohol burn. After the initial shock to the system of the sweetness, this mellows nicely. Fairly chewy palate. Interesting, though unrefined. Thanks Chris!

Jan 14, 2008 Bottle from my local offie, way too cold so I let it sit a while before pouring. This is another one I’ve had and not rated, how annoying is that...Ok, the beer,,,
Reddish brown with a beige in the middle but tan around the edge film. Alcohol is apparent with liquorice, roasted malt, caramel and coffee grounds folowing close behind, some dark fruit and chocolate notes also. Taste is similar, in the same order really. If it had more substance it might just come up trumps, but not quite. I didn’t know this was brewed by the same folks as Red Stripe, which was a personal fave inna di dancehall back in the day. I think I’d stick to this nowadays if given a choice, however both aren’t that great...

Jan 1, 2008 284ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a dark tan head that subsides. Aroma of molasses and malt. Flavour likewise and pretty sweet. Palate is light and quaffable by stout standards. If you’re expecting a heavy, rich stout, you will be disappointed. If you’re looking for an easy drinking dark beer, you should enjoy it.

Dec 19, 2007 300ml bottle.
Pours an abysmal black with a brown bubbly head. Aroma is sweet, roasty and malty. Caramel, molasses and milk chocolate. Alcoholic as it warms. The flavour is quite sweet as well. Fruit, chocolate, sugar and alcohol. Finishes bitter, lightly alcoholic and sticky. Not bad.
