Jan 4, 2007 Aroma of chocolate, toasted malt and coffee. Opaque dark brown color with a tan head. Tastes of chocolate, a bit of toasted malt, but very smooth. Coffee seems to be ever present. The mouthfeel is very firm, and the carbonation is reasonable. The finish is like the original Guiness, meaning toasty malt and some balancing hop. A treat.

Dec 9, 2006 Bottle: The commercial description is right on for this brew. Lots of flavor in a light bodied stout. Deep brown, almost black color with a small tanned head. Taste is roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and a very light hop note. Very tasty.

Nov 1, 2006 Got this one from IrishBoy. Thank you. Pours almost black with giant tan head. A beautiful pour. Looks like a dessert. Aroma & flavor is of dark chocolate and mild nutty coffee with a light smoked finish. Very very nice.

Sep 27, 2006 Bottle: Courtesy of DarkElf via trade. Aroma is loaded with chocolate along with some vanilla, roasted malt, and oatmeal. Pours a dark brown with no transparency. Moderate fizzy brown head diminishes quickly and leaves no lacing. Starts with a light chocolate and roasted nuttiness up front. Finishes with some light bitter coffee and light sourness. Definitely no joke in the commercial descriptopn when they say light bodied. Palate is thin and rather fizzy, which isn’t all that suprising based on the appearance as I poured.

Sep 7, 2006 12oz bottle via trade with irishboy! - Thanks Richard! - Pours dark brown with a big creamy tan head that stays well and laces the sides of the glass a little. Aromas of roasted malts, and some chocolate and some light hops. Flavor is mostly roasted malts, but a good amount of creamy chocolate there as well. Light coffee comes in at times as well. Medium body and pretty well carbonated. Lightly sweet yet roasty on the finish.
