Jul 16, 2006 Picked up a bottle in the Bronx. Dark color woth small head. Smell of chocolate and molasses. Surprisingly taste the same with a sweet roasted after taste.

Jul 7, 2006 284 ml bottle via trade with JoeMcPhee! - Thanks Joe! Pours black with a light tan creamy head that stays pretty well and laces some. Aroma of light roasted malt but there really isn’t much there at all. Flavor is lots of chocolate, a touch of roasted malts, but not much more. Palate was actually a very light stouot wtihout much carbonation at all. Finishes quite dry.

Jul 4, 2006 Updated: Mar 17, 2008Jet black sample settling into an inky stillness. What little head there is disappears quickly. Probably best swigged from the bottle. Smell is pure Dandelion and Burdock, taste roastily bitter with some aniseed and a surprising waft of alcohol. Not bad, but very thin and watery for a beer of this style and strength. Somehow it tasted so much better on Negril beach. Can’t think why.
(Re-rate, 17/03/08) Scotch dribbled over waxed jacket aroma. Too much whiskeyish booze/butterscotch, and syrupy dark sugar flavours of the adjuncty, just-tipped-in-the bottle kind. Makes more sense in Jamaica.

Jun 24, 2006 Bottle... Pitch black ale with a small, creamy, light brown head. Smells like chocolate cola. Lots of cloyingly sweet chocolate in the flavor... maybe even a little vineous. Full-bodied and velvety with medium carbonation. Lengthy, sweet, chocolatey finish.

Jun 23, 2006 No foam, completely black. Aroma strong of malt, nothing special there. Strong in flavour. There’s something special about this one, something sweet. I can detect the anis and chocolate mentioned here, but this is complex. Good one, complete opposite to the coopers stout, in a positive way. These two should be drunk next to each other.

Jun 12, 2006 A good stout. I had it up in Canada, a great flavor of chocolate/coffee, a cool bottle, but unfortunately only an 11 oz. bottle, I would like that extra ounce.

Jun 10, 2006 284ml bottle from a grocers shop on the way back to the station from the Catford BF 06. Sour stout aroma. Some nice choc, quite thick and unctious. Bit of eucalyptus too. Interesting strong stout. Bit of velvet. Drinkable.

Jun 10, 2006 A fairly decent, if not overly sour, foreign stout. Mild taste of fruits, annis and coffee. Aroma is quite strong and a little leathery. I liked it but prefer Lion Stout much more.
