janir (201), Oulu, Finland Jun 6, 2008 Almost black color with creamy and cloudy beige head.Aroma is sweet roasty caramel malty. Flavor is roasty malty at first but finish is somewhat watery. In the aftertaste roastiness emerges again. Palate is light- to medium-bodied, a bit watery, soft and not much carbonated.
plovmand (777), Helsinge, Denmark Nov 19, 2008 Bottle. Pitch black with a medium tan head. Coffee and roasted malts in aroma. Flavour is chocolate and roasted malt. Medium bodied. oldrtybastrd (1793), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA Oct 20, 2008 Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Nice dark body with a small tan head. Great aromas of chocolate and burnt malts. Flavor had a nice bitter bite to it. begbie100 (136), Oulu, Finland Oct 6, 2008 330ml bottle. Light brown head, black colour. Burnt malts aroma, chocolate, coffee. More acidic than draught. Flavor is roasted malts, chocolate. A little bit bland. User friendly stout I would say. DruncanVeasey (1814), No. 46, Leicestershire, Belgium Aug 30, 2008 Balcony, Lourdas. Reflective glossy tar pour like a black mirror. Tint of brown against the midday sun. A very black beer generously collared with tan. Nose sweet heady molasses, iron, blackcurrant, liquorice and sticky dried fruit, as well as the expected espresso and bitter cocoa attack. Markedly roastier and more impressively bitter than the nitrogenated, widgetised, super-chilled stuff back home. Sticks around with some serious burnt toast and black coffee bitterness long after the swallow. Fudgy creaminess, high cocoa dark choc, even an occasional waft of xmas pudding. Light and refreshing in the heat, but hinting at the presence of a darker, stronger beer. Original and Foreign Extra tipped together. Tastes like Guinness did to me when I was 14. Bitter enough to make girls and the unenlightened wince. Hats off. Nekronos (2017), Xalapa, Mexico Aug 19, 2008 A lot of things can paople say about GUinness but this one even room temperature is nice. I liked it and drank it ’till the bottom.
